  • Censorship is not only a government thing AT ALL. There are different uses of the word censorship.

    Literally the first lines of Wikipedia

    Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or “inconvenient”. Censorship can be conducted by governments and private institutions.

    It’s one thing not to accept an article on a newspaper which is only meant to accept a couple articles, and many of them having a clear and assumed editor line; and another to remove after publishing a comment or post on a public discussion forum, often claiming freedom of speech, because the admins do not agree with that the person says for political reasons.

    If there’s an editor line, then publicly assume it and make it clear when it’s an online discussion forum: reveal your biases.
