Obviously those in power will always try to take down shit that they don't like but if history shows me anything is that people's attitudes towards things (regardless of what they may be) eventually change.
Around 25 years ago, Beavis and Butthead premiered on MTV and you had a bunch of parents that wanted it banned and taken off from television and now it's pretty tamed by today's standards and no one gives a shit about how crude and stupid it is.
Around 60 years ago stuff like the topic of homosexuality was taboo to talk about and content like gay porn and lesbian porn was considered to be really offensive and obscene and today no one gives a shit about those things anymore aside from ban happy religious people.
Around 27 years ago there were politicians from many sides of the political spectrum that talked about banning and censor certain video games because they thought that they were a bad influence on young people and now today trying to pass legalization to ban or censor video games in this day and age is now considered career political suicide.
The point is, old and outdated things just go the way of the Dodo and new things take over because change is the law of life and I'm sure that once many of these old fossils that run these governments eventually die out then things will change and their shitty ideas will just be part of what people will read about in history books that should never again be considered to be made into law again after that.
You're falling into the trap of whig history (history bending towards progress).
We're heading down a path towards some pretty dystopian stuff.
