Ultimately, this is about censorship.
I consider censorship to be one of the "apex" class of conspiracies.
Regardless of the reasoning or cause, people must conspire to effect censorship.
It's one of those things I might callout when people tell me that most conspiracy theory is paranoid nonsense... I would ask... "How about censorship? That's always a conspiracy..." and it would lead down the eventual acceptance that "Conspiracy Theory is a real thing."
In this case it comes illuminated in the video I have attached below. While not well-versed in classical art, I found it mostly interesting (except the embedded commercial.)
I hope others see this an an interesting example censorship often overlooked ... and what the impact was.
