Okay, We do not censor, because censorship is prior referral to a body to approve publication. We edit live, so a priori we don't censor. Very clear to anybody of a legal mind. We don't as a community suppress material, there have been attempts to do so, but they have all failed. We excercise editorial judgement where needed. Which is as it should be. -- -- Jussi-Ville Heiskanen, ~ [[User:Cimon Avaro]] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
