Censorship by definition is &quot;the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security&quot;, with the clear understanding that attempting to bypass it by publishing elsewhere will be likewise censored and likely punished.<p>Routine maintaining of order &amp; interest on a private site is NOT censorship; you are welcome to publish your content &amp; links elsewhere, and HN admins (and users flagging objectionable content) will not come after you to erase such publication or punish you for publishing it anyway.<p>Stasi would <i>kill</i> you for persisting in publishing prohibited content. PG et al won&#x27;t.
