He may not have felt censored but that's what happened, Apple censored his comic. - Krusty Jun 19, 09:18 15
- I don't agree with Apple, but it's not censorship. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:21 14
  - I don't see how it's not censorship. They comic is fine with them except for some nudity which they say has to be changed for them to sell the comic. - Krusty Jun 19, 09:22 13
    - Because there are other outlets for the publisher to sell the comic as is. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:24 12
      - as long as someone else collect the oil BP is not having a spill? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:29
      - That's true, but the fact there are other outlets doesn't change the nature of Apple's actions. - celedhring Jun 19, 09:27 1
        
        Exaclty. It's censorship no matter how you look at. -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 09:29
      - so as ling as a single printer will print the political statement it's not censoship? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:26
      - Also, by that logic, China isn't censoring Google. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 09:25 4
        
        If Google is agreeing to the terms that China sets up to be available in China, then it's not censorship. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:27 3
        
        by that logic the press is free in NothKorea - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 09:31
        
        Then censorship doesn't exist by your reasoning. You're always "accepting the rules" if you are seeking approval from anybody. -- nm - celedhring Jun 19, 09:30
        
        I find that ridiculous. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 09:28
      - For now. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 09:25 2
        
        That's a problem of media consolidation, not of censorship. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:27 1
        
        it's why censorship is a problem. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 09:29
