The point is not newspapers "per se".
The point is private entity, as opposed to public state. As I stated clearly, freedom of speech is a principle applied upon public law, not private law. Therefore, "censorship" is something the state does, not something private parts do among themselves.
Are anti-spam filters "censorship"? No, because they're implemented by private citizens to benefit other private citizens.

- jhkiehna 5y agoCensorship is not just the sole domain of a government. Private entities are perfectly capable of participating in it. You're conflating two distinct ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_censorship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_censorship
