I've seen many things on here talking about censorship, but it's hardly ever actual censorship, it's just social pressure?
do any of you understand the difference between going to jail for saying something and someone just "thinking bad about you" for saying something?
99 percent of the time it just seems like someone crying because someone said something "mean" to them... saying something mean to you, or thinking bad about you is not censorship... in fact, it's just the opposite, it's merely someone else expressing their right to free speech against your ideas...
you can't regulate or deregulate social pressures with any real success... that's just a part of free speech...

That's right, this big thing about the ABC movie is much to do about nothing as people will either believe it as fact or will see it as fiction. Censorship would not allow them to run it and to censor it would take the country down a slippery slope. I am a liberal and I say that they should run it they have every right. However it is my opinion that it is in bad taste to do it as it is an election year and it could sway voters even it is just a dramatization.

Censorship is when someone in authority (like the govt or a boss) orders you not to speak. And can back up that order with punishment.
Anything else is not censorship. Sadly, little things like facts and law don't mean much any more, and terminology is thrown around so carelessly that it has pretty much lost all meaning outside of rhetoric.

There is no censorship here on the Yahoo boards. Everybody had to check the same box to the terms of agreement that their material may be removed if found to not contribute to the standards written in black and white.
