[QUOTE="avstor, post: 887910, member: 87871"] Rules created with the intent and enforced in a manner to quash messages and push people off of a platform is censorship. One cannot hide behind the argument that a forum is "private property" with its own rules. That is the same tactic that governments, institutions and organizations use to justify suppressing points of view for a whole range of invalid reasons. Censorship is censorship. Today, "curated content" is the basic mechanism to keep differing points of view, different personalities, different message types, that which differs out. "Curated content" is meant to block others' voices. That is complete cringe. It is both morally and ethically wrong, regardless of legality. If I created a forum or online platform and kept everyone off of it via rules and enforcement except those who posted stuff that I agree with or find acceptable, then that is censorship. This kind of "content management" is the the truly horrific plague of the internet today. [/QUOTE]
