Looking at the headers of your message, we see that you sent it on 29
March and the gnu.org (FSF) mailing list only delivered it on 2 April
(headers copied below).
This shows that somebody in FSF is now checking the messages one by one.
No, it shows that the messages got stuck in a queue somewhere for
several days. The FSF/GNU infrastructure is fairly complex and the FSF
sysadmins (mostly volunteers as I understand) are stretched thin.
(Evidence: the general utility login server is running a major release
that went out of support a few months ago and has not yet been
updated.) The chances of messages getting stuck in a queue due to a
temporary failure and going unnoticed until finally being delivered
after an automated retry a few days later (as is common in mail systems
-- email does *not* promise instant delivery) are fairly high.
If anything, I would expect censors to act quickly to hide their own
existence, not to sit on a message for four days, *then* pass it through.

This censorship looks like pure evil.
We do not consent to this type of censorship. It is a type of fraud.
They do this without our consent, so it is like rape. They stole the F
from FSF.
As of yet, censorship is not proven. All of these events could be the
results of technical failures at a very inopportune time. (Of course,
according to Finangle's Law, failures *always* happen at the least
opportune time.)
