- olavk 11y agoOK that is not really what I would call censorship. Censorship is restricting public access to some expression - not punishing the originator. Even if it might be just as bad for the freedom of speech, it is not the same thing.
- TrevorJ 11y agoIf the effect is to stifle the speech then functionally how is it different?
- olavk 11y agoQuite different actually. (Even if two things are both bad it does not mean they are the same thing!) For example you can censor a dead author, but you cannot threaten him. And you can punish someone for saying something without censoring the utterance.
