Removing “stupidity” on any platform, public or private, is absolutely censorship. And discussing any author bias is absolutely a contribution towards conversation surrounding the authors work.
- avs733 5y agoby this definition of censorship, me asking a random person screaming in my house to please leave is censorship. Author bias, alternative perspectives, etc. can all be contributions to meaningful discourse when they bring evidence or some meaningful engagement. Simply asserting your truth through circular logic isn't a contribution. It's not because the contribution is about 'bias' its because the contribution is stupid. Same rules apply even if think the person agrees with me. Process and structure trump content. I'm saying this as the type of person who gets concerned when I see a stupid argument that arrives at the same position I hold, I don't get excited just because it's the same outcome.
