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.

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)

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?
