Children don't have adult rights. They don't have a legal right to decide where to live, where to go, what to buy, what to watch on TV, or what to read.
The LGBTQ books weren't removed from the library, they were put in the adult section.
but once that audience was built those who had already monetized USENET wanted it destroyed as competition, so they’d flood it with noise, SPAM
I remember Usenet and used it a lot. Can you give any evidence that it was destroyed by spam from competitors? It seems to me the competitors were many more focused forums like Linuxquestions.org, sites from vendors of hardware and software, comment sections of magazine/websites like pcmag and ArsTechnica, and later Quora and StackExchange, and many many more. It seems improbable they would spam Usenet.
I still think Usenet couold be saved by more effective filtering, done on clients or 3rd party servers, reselling Usenet content and adding value by getting rid of the junk.
DirecTV is the best pay TV service, better than UVerse, FiOS and cable. It benefits everyone for UVerse to be replaced by DirecTV satellite. True DirecTV rates have gone up same as everyone else's, but that is because of the huge price increases of content like ESPN and regional sports networks, and the huge increase in quality. (e.g. 200 HD channels). Most of the world skipped cable TV because satellite is obviously the most efficient way to distribute TV.
