> Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information
Intent doesn’t matter to the definition of removal of information. I’m sure one could find a definition that includes it in its justification clause but that doesn’t change the operative part where a piece of information is removed from discovery, publication, or broadcast.
- gowld 3y agoIntent matters, because "suppression" implies intent to prevent content from spreading. For example, deleting redundant text, or cutting merely to fit the content into a limited space or time, isn't "suppression".
- ryanschaefer 3y agoPersonally, I’d still argue it doesn’t. If you remove information for the reasons you stated there are ways to indicate to the reader that more information still exists but was not included (for example “…” “[article]”). That’s just editing because it preserves the intent of the author. If these are not employed, the information was censored/suppressed even if it was to correct bad writing.
