> It has pretty much always meant that, and just because the general sense of censorship is not something you are interested in talking about doesn't mean it's not useful. It's certainly less useful than distinguishing between specific forms of censorship. As you concede yourself: > Yes, government censorship is different in important ways than censorship by a publishing or distributing entity The context (the article) is clearly about the latter, specific form. Or, to expand on your example: When discussing an article about nuclear fusion, the distinction between heavy water and drinking water certainly is more useful then the observation that both are identified with the word "water".
