Any software packaged in Debian is automatically promoted, meaning that Debian itself (as a project) is responsible for disseminating its contents. This has nothing to do with free speech, which is currently the dominant narrative used by big tech companies to avoid responsibility when their algorithms promote hatred written by others. This isn't about silencing them; it's simply about not providing them with our infrastructure to spread their hatred (jokes are one of the most common form of expressed hatred). > you do not have to install this content if you do not like it. if you > want to, you can - but it is your decision. if you remove the content, > you take this decision away.
