"people" aren't "censoring", they don't have the power to do so. In this specific case the state acts at the behest of those who fill out a USPS Form 1500. It is complicated when you consider what is actually happening, the rationale behind it, and the convoluted exceptions. To say otherwise would be like saying that the internet is uncomplicated, as it is simply a series of tubes.

- woodman 10y agoI'll give it one more shot. You are a child at the store and you ask your mommy for a lollipop, she hands you one and pays the cashier... who bought the lollipop?
- bduerst 10y agoHahah, nothing in what you just said adds up to censorship. Since the direct marketers are paying for it, I guess they're the mother? Is the government the lollipop? Is censorship the grocery store? Ahem - "You have a duck in a pond with a frog, and an elderly couple is throwing bread... Who threw the bread?" Lol.

- bduerst 10y agoBut who threw the bread, woodman? You still haven't passed your reading comprehension test. This is very important for the discussion of human-selected censorship.
