Talk:Self-censorship

message: This article is excellent, but it covers self censorship purely as a "rights" or political issue, ignoring the psychological issue of self censorship, or failure to self-censor.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.84.129 (talk) 12:47, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Psychological issues 

message: I have attached the minor NPOV tag until the lines below are corrected to remove the present bias. This has been talked about at length in this discussion, and nothing has yet been done.
"For instance, in the USA, media organisations (Media Matters for America, FAIR, Democracy Now!, ACLU) have raised concerns about the extent of the phenomenon in particular medias (notably FOX News) since the beginning of the "War against Terror"."

thread_title: NPOV Dispute

message: To me, the article begins directly without a NPOV.  I attempted to rewrite an intro but ran out of time today, so I'm posting it here for another to use.
Self-censorship occurs when a person or entity changes their thoughts or output to coincide with those of another party.  It may be practised willfully, viewed as a required method of gaining acceptance or otherwise achieving a goal.  However, the term is usually employed to express when the practicioner is unaware of the process, or. In this sense, self-censorship is practised by anyone who tries to fit in or assimilate to a group.
It is important to differentiate the more common view of self-censorship with the much maligned view which occurs in a professional context.  The difference being, arguably, the effect of the censorship on society as a whole.  Professionals with an obligation to present fair and accurate

thread_title: re: npov

message: the guy who flagged the article as biased is biased himself. he is trying to pursue typical political correctness that ruined free speech in many cases and is self censorship at its best.
Hopefully this article stays as it is, because it describes very exactly what self censorship is.
based on the examples from Japan and other countries incl. US, it is clear that self censorship exists in top medias.

thread_title: someone trying to be politically correct here?

message: Regarding this : Reuters is not accused to censoring its reports. It does give the information it has. Whether they choose to abide to a particular standard of wording has nothing to do with censorship, and particularly, the fact that neo-conservatives shoudl brandish the term "censorship" does to suffice to make it so.

thread_title:  Reuters 

message: Sometimes self-censorship is practiced by the intended audience of works; i.e., sometimes people refuse to read a certain book or watch a certain movie, out of some deference to authority, even though no force or pressure is present. I think the main article ought to mention this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.129.31.156 (talk) 04:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Self-Censorship in Audiences 

message: I notice this article discussed the concept of self-censorship, but doesn't include many specific examples. Well, here's one: in 1972, Stanley Kubrick withdrew his film A Clockwork Orange from distribution in the United Kingdom due to the controversy it had generated, and real life crimes it had allegedly inspired. It didn't become available again until after his death. I'd add that to the article myself, but I'm not sure what category it fits in. Robofish (talk) 23:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

message: In the section Reasons for self-censorship- Legal, the term "rivercrabbing" is used in place of "censorship". I don't see any particular reason why river crabbing is the appropriate term here, especially considering it is in reference to capitalist nations and the source cited after that sentence makes no reference to rivercrabbing. It seems like it only really serves to obfuscate the meaning, but I'm checking here in case there's a valid reason for its usage that I've missed. Jth125 (talk) 14:45, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
