Censor: to suppress or delete as objectionable. Censorship blocks something from being read, heard, or seen. To "censor" is to review something and to choose to remove or hide parts of it that are considered unacceptable.

I would only add "and all too often for purely political purposes or to target groups or even individuals."
Great post Ellen (and Nico)

Very good points, Speck. But in the case of OSW, I am not a fan of the censorship happening in The Box. Yes, it is mostly toxic garbage written there, but I prefer to make my own choices about what I read.

I would agree, best let the vox pop see the idiots.

Abuse of public forums has existed for as long as the forums themselves, the excesses we see here are the result of the ability to hide or delete and of course the lack of consequences for the worst abuses and personal threats.
