[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Is it really that interesting?[/b]

I am more interested in those amazing young guys who stopped a terrorist attack in France. Three young military men and a couple of civilians, they literally saved hundreds of lives.

Surely that's worth thinking about, instead?[/quote]

Yes, it is that interesting. There were over 1200 responses in the original, long thread. And as someone has pointed out, there are at least five other threads going, related to AM. Doesn't that tell you something? Regardless of why people are interested,...people are interested. This is definitely censorship. I would wager that there are more people interested in the subject than people who are not interested. Anyone who doesn't want to read about it can choose not to.  Yet now we have a situation where those people are dictating to the rest of us about what is acceptable to hear about and to discuss. I'm so very disappointed in DCUM's lack of commitment to free speech.[/quote]

There are pretty solid arguments on both sides about the validity of linking to the stolen data, but "free speech" is not one of them. If fact, even suggesting such a thing is an indication of a level of misunderstanding of the topic so acute that further discussion is probably futile.

It is a simple fact that DCUM does not allow discussion of every issue. Every day, choices are made about which topics are appropriate and which are not. Today, I decided that linking to the hacked data is not.

Finally, claiming censorship and violations of free speech while simultaneously pointing out that at least five other threads are still going on the same topic is probably the most clueless thing I've ever seen written.
