"Other spaces, like text-based Usenet newsgroups, gave users substantial
power to shape their experiences. The newsgroups left obvious spam in
place, but gave users tools to block it if they chose to. Usenet's administrators argued that it was fairer to allow each user to make
decisions that reflected their individual preferences rather than taking
a one-size-fits-all approach."
