Censorship can obviously be done by states, but the definition is not restricted to states only.

>Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient" as determined by a government or private institution

So then we need to allow spam links, in order to not be "censoring"?

Email spam filters handle things well I think.

Instead of completely censorsing/hiding things from you, suspected spam is placed in a folder that you can view and decide for yourself whether or not it's worth your attention.

Unless you roll your own email server, the majority of spam never hits your spam folder, but is bounced without you ever noticing it.

I'm not talking about email. I'm talking about this board.
