> Interesting article. It doesn't look at corporate/social media censorship, but government and ISP censorship is still dangerous.

Is a company having policies about what users can store on the company owned servers actually censorship?

I find it weird that you used “still dangerous” to describe government/ISP censorship. To me that is the most dangerous form a censorship.

Corporate/social media censorship is now the en vogue censorship and the one we are most problems with, at least in the western world. Or maybe it's the one with most publicity. In comparison, government/ISP censorship seems to have died out and be pretty mild. However, something like China's censorship is much worse than social media. I thought we luckily would be free of such, but I do consider Poland western, and Japan a reputable democracy. It is still dangerous because a threat we thought dead or dormant is still active.
