Hi KTJeno, the social media censorship part that you added looks good. I added a bit about why seeing disgruntled citizens' comments about certain elected officials can be good for the government who is doing the censoring, as well as provide a link to the video. You could maybe add more about why social media censorship can be viewed as good or bad to improve your section further. ] (]) 01:54, 15 April 2016 (UTC) Hi KTJeno, the social media censorship part that you added looks good.

New related category: Category:Censored media

Following up on the old discussion at Talk:Censorship/Archive_3#Censored_media_.2F_category_cleanup, I have created Category:Censored media. Please help populate. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:17, 25 February 2016 (UTC)


Possible weasel words?

Part of the article says "There are many ways that censors exhibit creativity, but a specific variant is of concern in which censors rewrite texts, giving these texts secret co-authors."

Isn't 'there are many' weasel words in the same way 'many say' or 'it is commonly believed', without citation?116.93.23.41 (talk) 07:53, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Well, I think it's more precise, so it is probably fine. What I'd worry more is whether the claim is referenced. If it is we could check the original source. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 20:43, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
There's no reference mark on it, hmm. 116.93.23.41 (talk) 01:28, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Social Media Censorship

Hi KTJeno, the social media censorship part that you added looks good. I added a bit about why seeing disgruntled citizens' comments about certain elected officials can be good for the government who is doing the censoring, as well as provide a link to the video. You could maybe add more about why social media censorship can be viewed as good or bad to improve your section further. Kellytaft.144 (talk) 01:54, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Internet censorship map colours

Substantial, selective and not classified/no data are too close in colour, even if the map is blown up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.240.78.187 (talk) 07:09, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Validity and Scientific Backing?

I've been told that one of the main drivers of censorship and modification of language is in the idea of Linguistic Relativity. Related would be the ideas of Linguistic determinism, Rebranding, Prototype Theory, and Cognitive Universalism. Anyone else think this might be a good/bad idea? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.13.121.160 (talk) 03:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
