In the example I gave, Stanford is not showing up to your house to take signs off your lawn. So according to your very definition, they aren't "trying to prevent you from saying, printing, or depicting words and images," they are literally just kicking you off their lawn. You just repeatedly state these things are equivalent, when they are not, as I explained multiple times, and then you post a link to information that has not censored. Frankly I don't even want to argue about whether said link has been deplatformed or not, because it's not censored, and it's just me and you at this point, with zero progress.
[1] prevent, v.
1. keep (something) from happening or arising.
2. make (someone or something) unable to do something.
- penultimatebro 5y agoWell yeah, of course you don’t want to argue - you’re wrong. And every post you make, it gets worse. Your example again versus the definition you picked out: > Censorship occurs when individuals or groups try to prevent[1] others from saying, printing, or depicting words and images. The group being Stanford University the prevention from depicting words and images being the sign. It’s censorship, by definition. Where the censorship happens is not my concern, it’s still censorship. It could be a stubborn editor in a magazine who never lets a story he disagrees with get through. It could be the complete media silence on Hunter Biden’s China connections pre-election. Or it could be the White House telling Facebook which vaccine related posts to remove. All censorship, just like your Stanford example. Not so much “deplatform” though. It’s much closer to an infringement on your human right to peacefully assemble than whatever normalized buzzword like deplatformed is being passed around lately.
