Public Libraries Censoring Bloggers. by Anna Raccoon on February 3, 2011
Public Libraries Censoring Bloggers.
Censorship of the press is considered a heinous crime best avoided even by those political parties who would cheerfully see the UK emulate North Korea in all manner of things.
Can you imagine the outcry if Oxfordshire County Council formally announced that no longer could you read the Guardian in their public libraries because they disliked an article published therein? Twitter would be ablaze, journalists outraged, and questions asked in parliament!
Yet just this week alone, a similar fate has befallen two bloggers, and the silence is deafening – even from within the blogosphere.
