You do realize those are in no way whatsoever related and are due to 2 completely different sets of circumstances?
One is a private company (either first or third-party) offering a censored version of a piece of media and the other is the government redacting things from a document that would normally not be released at all (at this stage) and the redactions were specifically done to prevent witnesses tampering or similar tactics by the accused.
To call those "similar" is just absurd.
- didgetmaster 4y agoWhen I used the term 'similar' it had nothing to do with the reasoning or methodology behind the censoring. Only that the finished product in both cases was sufficiently censored that less than half the original content remained. It is not just a few select pieces that are cut out, it is creating a whole new product that is almost unrecognizable when compared to the original.
- joshstrange 4y agoMy apologies then. I read it differently and jumped to the wrong conclusion about the point you were making.
- didgetmaster 4y agoApology accepted. Sometime I too jump to conclusions when I shouldn't, so I understand.
