From the same wiki article you're quoting from -
"Governments, private organizations and individuals may engage in censorship"
It's simply incorrect to say that private companies cannot engage in censorship.
- zobzu 11y agoThis is the internet, where retarded people redefine the words and their world view as they see fit. Most comments and up/down votes are about what people like/dislike not about what's either right, interesting or insightful.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoI take every downvote on a comment of undeniable factual information as a clear indication of the downward slide of HN. It is what it is, and the mods couldn't care less.
- mehwoot 11y agoIt's simply incorrect to say that private companies cannot engage in censorship. If they have enough control over a medium to effectively suppress speech, then yes. The argument is whether that is the case here. The definition of censorship is not merely "any case where someone prevents someone from saying something". The bar is higher than that.
