Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > It's not censorship to choose not to publish
 Importantly, Tor is not a hosting platform and does not publish what
 people say on websites, any more than the air publishes what someone says
 in person.

 Incidentally how often do you see censors call censorship, censorship?
 It's always "not censorship". If the US president decided to order Tor to
 censor political opponents, it would be equally impossible to comply then.
 Be glad of it.
