For example, what is the distinction that allows CoCR not to be an ideological ban of Islamic fundamentalist theocracies?
Ideological bans, as I understand them, are explicit outlawing of ideologies. You can institute freedom of religion, but you can't actually ban theocratic forms of government. You can institute free trade (or fair trade), but you can't outlaw capitalism or socialism. Making it more difficult to hold any certain ideology is not illegal.
The question of cumulative effects has been raised before, but mods have deferred judgement so far.
Thanks, helps me as well.
