Some other legal dispute - trademark law, for example, isn’t censorship.

Personal vendetta (i hate frank so i sabotaged his work), is also not censorship.

Could also be the result of a hack for ransom, which is also not censorship

Anyway, this is dumb. It probably is censorship, but i’m still gonna need a confirmation before i get mad about it.



Trademark law is a censorship law. Censorship based on personal vendetta is censorship.


I don’t mean to censor you here, but I disagree. If everything is censorship, then censorship becomes meaningless. Anyway, i gotta go censor something for breakfast, have a censor censor. Censor!


Censorship is when speech or publication is prevented. Hope this explanation helps.


Yes well my mouth was full of breakfast so the toast was censoring me.

Incidentally, taking down a domain used for short links doesn’t prevent speech or publication, since they have about 20 other domains that the same info is available at. Like how knocking over a newspaper box doesn’t censor the paper. So, by your own definition this isn’t censorship. Which is weird because it probably is censorship. Almost like your definition is bad.
