Royal dog as a subject

I have just found this:

A factory worker in Thailand who is facing up to 37 years in jail for insulting the military rulers is also being investigated for mocking the king’s dog.

Guardian 2015. I wonder if to add it... Zezen (talk) 07:54, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Censorship - image

Hello everyone, As french students in digital communication, we studied communication censorship with emojis. And mainly controversial issue of emojis. We published on the Censorship's page in the Image's section. Can you give us ours opinions ? Thanks --IAEP.MargotA (talk) 11:02, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Personally I think that example of censorship(the Birth of Venus) looks like a satire, so Misplaced Pages shouldn't be using as a prirarly example. --2620:0:1000:2811:4BDC:9561:7097:D13E (talk) 18:58, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

I deleted it. Keep your eye on this page. I am surprised it lasted as long as it did. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:11, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Definition?

The current definition of censorship seems to be contradicted by the source.

"Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or "inconvenient" as determined by government authorities or by community consensus"

When you follow the reference (Merriam-Webster) it doesn't say anything about community consensus, only governments Unfortunately I don't know how to change it for the better, maybe someone else has a good idea? 85.226.145.74 (talk) 14:57, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes you are completely correct. There is no such thing as censorship by community consensus. The article mentions community once in relation to books. Its not appropriate to add community consensus to the lead because its not supported in the article below. - Shiftchange (talk) 23:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

This abstract succinctly describes what is going on. We need to clarify that censorship is undertaken by government but sometimes carried out by private institutions. Its polemic use and its more specific use in the USA needs to be clarified. To be consider censorship the "activity has at least to be publicly recognized". - Shiftchange (talk) 09:02, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Should category for censored media be deleted?

Please see discussion at Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_July_27#Category:Censored_media. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:03, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Categorization

Previously, Category:Obfuscation was a subcategory of Category:Censorship. However, i reversed it, so that now Category:Censorship is a subcategory of Category:Obfuscation; i felt it would be more appropriate that way. Okay?--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 09:57, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

New interesting images of censorship uploaded, feel free to use or ask for more

If you go to media and look up 'Censorship in the Republic of China', you will find some interesting photographs.

I've uploaded two images of censored texts found in a 1978 edition of Encyclopedia Americana. The texts were censored by the Republic of China (now commonly known as "Taiwan"). In one image, (what I believe are) Communist slogans in a photograph have been censored. In the other photograph, words in the article itself as well as in a map of Mongolia have been censored. Stamped on the bottom left of both images are the words "Contents deleted as instructed by the Ministry of Interior, ROC."

I find these interesting because there is hardly any English content about censorship in Taiwan, which used to be a dictatorship, and also because there aren't a lot of images of such blatant censorship uploaded so far. Additionally, for one article the censorship is motivated by anti-Communist sentiment. Because people might tend to (problematically) think of Communist governments as the only ones doing the censoring, that they are here the ones being censored seems mildly ironic and quite informative.

Feel free to use the images. There are much more from the same Encyclopedia Americana that I can upload. I will not be inserting the images right now (maybe later) because I want to give the whole Wiki article a good read first before I change anything.
