> Do you have any ideas to help people see all relevant articles going forward? I doubt that all Techrights readers know these (new) articles will be suppressed. The real news here is than Roy has agreed to post no new articles, not that he will likely delete old ones. The real news is that he has bowed to pressure (I haven't ruled out the possibility that he's bluffing, but I thought you should be made aware of the situation at least) from his administrator, who contributes hosting but lately has gone back and forth about whether or not they intend to decide (on the actual website owner's behalf, that is) whether it's necessary to "pull the plug" on the website. The pattern (from IRC activity to the website itself) to threaten, to demand, to back off JUST BEFORE the demands are met, then to say "I wouldn't really do that, you know." I would compare it so someone holding up a liquor store with a water pistol, getting the money and then saying "look, I'd never really hurt you man, this is a water pistol." They still run off with the money, though! I won't be surprised if another Debian Community story runs on Techrights at all. Like i said (no matter how people try to spin this information) this is about the commitment to censor-- I don't know if the owner will follow through with that or whether he will relent. Either are plausible scenarios. As to what to do? More people will know about this, gradually. You can't go controlling the content of someone else's website and expect everyone not to care.
