I don't see that happening. I only see things like people claiming the confederacy treated black people better than today getting flak. I don't see it happening

  > ExxonMobil is under investigation by the New York Attorney General for withholding information from both its shareholders and the public about the risks of climate change. This may not exactly be censorship but it's basically punishing climate change skepticism. Seems a bit far reaching and used as a political tool to try to scare away other groups from funding research that may be skeptical of the current science. How exxon shareholders were damaged by this, and how they will be better off by giving company equity to the NY attorney general office and lawyers is beyond me http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/05/news/exxonmobil-climate-change-investigation/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/05/news/exxonmobil-climate-chan...

    > This may not exactly be censorship but it's basically punishing climate change skepticism. Its charging a company with a legal obligation to disclose material facts relevant to its future business prospects for misrepresenting the information it had. That's not "punishing climate skepticism" except to the extent that "climate skepticism" is a label which abuses "skepticism" to mean "active, knowing misrepresentation".
