That doesn't make it not censorship. It just makes it not *constitutionally-forbidden* censorship. In the USA, private entities are allowed, in general, to censor whatever they want - and, indeed, in some cases, that's their job (eg, the editor of a newspaper, when deciding what stories to run, is censoring the ones turned down). There are some cases where private entites are not allowed to censor (common carriers come to mind, though I'm not actually sure they qualify), but they are the exceptions, not the rule. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
