What if you criticize Amazon? Should you be banned from using all their services? What if you criticize private enterprise in general? Banned from everything except services provided by the state then? Your interpersonal examples where both people/groups have very little and similar amounts of power. 'Consequences' to speech become dangerous when corporations or even larger groups of people get involved.

Whenever we try to define consciousness, we get into useless quasi-philosophical discussions like this. Philosophers don't know what consciousness is and neither does anyone else.

Working with your definition, you've basically just described backpropagation in sufficiently deep neural nets. A feature of Artificial Neural Nets, which, as you say, probably oversimplifies brain functions.

"The underlying language within which the consciousness exists may have a very minimal grounding in some physical reality."

Your usage of physical reality is interesting. Is this the "free will is real" ala true randomness exists argument again? Hope we aren't moving backwards into the arms of religion here.
