  • I'm pretty sure the answer isn't censorship. Whatever happened to "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"?

    I agree with @Dammit - leave it up so everyone can see how fucking stupid Kevin Myers is.

    This is the extract from the article in question, it's not exactly holocaust denial.

    Who suggested censorship?

    The article was deleted because it risked advertising money and subscriptions. Not because it's not allowed to be said.

  • Who suggested censorship?

    Well, I did, because that's what's happening. The definition of censorship:

    the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.

    It doesn't matter if the paper that published it is doing the supressing, it's still censorship.
