A word about censorship and the First Amendment right up front. Neither applies to this project.
Censorship is a concept that attaches to public organizations.
For example, a city or a public library that operates a forum can be accused of censorship and violation of First Amendment rights. The moderators may delete any message. That said, it is not our intent to look for messages to delete. All of us have a long relationship with this community, and we have put our time and money into this project because we believe in free and responsible speech. We believe both in this community and in the power of the Internet to further community debate.
