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.
