It ensures only one opinion, the one of the company, is accessible at that moment. If they need to feature their own answer, they can already use the "accept" button. This leaves no reasonable space for a discussion and responses to their policy. There's a lack of precedent of banning answers to posts labelled as policy and discussion, and in addition, they're asking us to create new answersquestion posts instead (see linked post). This scatters and shreds the discussion, ultimately putting a barrier to access that which is not theirs. If you land on a policy page, the new norm is that you only get to see that which was approved by the company, and nothing more. Discussions are disincentivized. This is effectively censoring the immediate access to opinions of an opposing kind. This is similar to a government-controlled newspaper presenting the propaganda of the government on the front page, and hiding away the responses and opinions of the opposition in small sections over a few pages late in the newspaper; those that aren't read by most people.
If anybody knows of the correct term for the last sentence, you're free to edit it in. I can't find it.
