You literally said "'free speech' and 'censorship' only apply in relation to governmental authority", which is a totally incorrect statement. It's not "playing a semantics game" to point out that you're incorrect.

For some reason, you chose to add in an incorrect and irrelevant statement, and the falsity of that statement was pointed out.

[dethtoll]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Private entities and private spaces aren't required to protect free speech. It's not censorship if someone tells you to shut up.

[blitzwing]

Private entities and private spaces aren't required to protect free speech.

Yep. And that means they can't censor how?

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

It's not censorship if someone tells you to shut up.

So shut up.

(frozen comment)

[blitzwing]

It's not censorship if someone tells you to shut up.

And if you choose to shut up, it's self-censorship. I really feel like you're starting to make progress on understanding what censorship actually means.

(frozen comment)

[dethtoll]

Why don't you go make progress on shutting up?

(frozen comment)

[blitzwing]

Do you like me or something? o////o

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Are you autistic or something? Honest question.

(frozen comment)

[blitzwing]

Not that I know of, though I've never talked to a psychiatrist about it before. Your guess is as good as mine.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

So you're just an asshole. Good to know.

(frozen comment)

[blitzwing]

Asshole? I'm a cute tasty little chocolate starfish, what are you on about?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

You literally said "'free speech' and 'censorship' only apply in relation to governmental authority", which is a totally incorrect statement. It's not "playing a semantics game" to point out that you're incorrect.

It only works if the person is actually incorrect. Can you point to a legal framework that compels DC to print every piece of art they commission?

[blitzwing]

Can you point to a legal framework that compels DC to print every piece of art they commission?

How is the meaning of the word censorship in any way dependent on the existence of " legal framework that compels DC to print every piece of art they commission"?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

In the absence of such a framework, publishers are free to set their own editorial policies and decisions, including the decision not to distribute a work.

[blitzwing]

Yes, and they can still censor.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Comparing routine editorial decisions to, for example, South Africa's ban on "V" in the 1980s because the aliens were reptilian and the president's nickname was "crocodile" betrays a profound misunderstanding of what censorship is.

Oh no! I'm a censor, I refused to print a sentence lacking a serial comma!

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously. He's a fucking journalist. I literally cannot get over that.

[dethtoll]

Went to school for it and everything!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I took organic chemistry when I went to school but it doesn't make me an organic chemist.

If someone is unemployed it doesn't make them a journalist.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you know he's unemployed?
