In response to "I don't agree with Apple, but it's not censorship. -- nm" by Dano

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.

How is that not censorship?

Responses:

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
