When your side is silenced it's 'censorship', when the other side is silenced it is 'moderation' or 'removing misinformation'.

- birksherty 5y agoNo, it's all about truth, lie, death threats. Which one was deleted.
- smt88 5y agoI broadly agree, but I think it's not exactly the problem here. In this case, one "side" would be a government (assuming this was done at govt request), which means it is literally censorship to silence the other side -- regardless of where the truth lies. If FB did it proactively to appease a govt (which they did/do in the US), then it's a lot murkier of an issue. It's almost like "soft" censorship.
