[WikiEN-l] UK censorship: I'm on BBC Radio 4 Today show tomorrow 8:20am

[Durova]

Overall, good.  I'll also be blunt: the 'experiment' speculation at the end
handed her a very strong close for the end of the interview.  Everyone's a
critic (and these things are so much easier to second guess after the fact),
yet if another interview such as this comes up it would make a stronger
finish to wonder how many other websites had been blocked by this
organization's dubious assessments without appeal, and ask whether they're
really qualified to play nanny to the public.
