I'd just like to point out the Pao and Reddit can do anything they want on their property and it is not censorship. Private parties cannot censor, only the government can censor which why the recent nationalization of the US Internet by the FCC is so dangerous for Free Speech. When the FCC comes out with their "Internet Anti-Harassment and Diversity Guidelines" that must be followed at the threat of shutting down your blog, that is true censorship and should not be tolerated.
- briandh 11y agoActually, the everyday meaning of censorship quite clearly includes the private suppression of speech. Them having the right to engage in it is independent of that.
