jefro,
It’s going a bit far to call it “censoring” since the moderators don’t actively ban particular viewpoints. I’ve been on discussion boards where they do censor discussions and I find it tasteless. One is a popular job board in the US that’s been banning members based on their negative views about the market. Of course they have their own selfish reasons for doing so, but it’s a real disservice to the community. Thankfully osnews isn’t like that.
I do think everyone should be able to “vote” on every post without the odd restrictions in place now, but it’s just a gimmick anyway. I really come here for the news and discussions.
I hope SOPA is struck down, allowing corporations to take the law into their own hands and sidestepping the courts is a terrible idea.
