Only if you're going to take an absolutist stance that "censorship only applies to governments". But that's not the only definition. wikipedia defines censorship thus: "Censorship is the suppression of speech, publi

An amusing pattern is emerging with the comments in this post. People are getting downvoted for pointing taking the worker's side (pointing out you can't simply walk into a clinic to get a ibs note for instance), and people are ge
