Most people demanding freedom of speech, or opposing censorship,
hardly know what they are talking about.
Freedom of speech does not equal the right to voice ones opinion
through each and every medium, and by definition, censorship can
only be carried out by wordly or religious government, not by
individuals or companies.
Most of the laws governing this topic also only adress the position
of the state vs the individual, not individual/company vs individual.
The latter mistake, by others, is also basically what a Dutch
political leader had to pay for with his life.
No man so blind as the one who doesn't want to see.
