[Reader-list] "Second Thoughts" censorship on Kafila.org

[Shivam V]

Dear Kshmendra,

There's a difference between censorship and moderation. Censorship
would be if you were to start a blog that the state orders to be
blocked, for instance. But Kafila is owned privately, and as such I
have the prerogative to delete/appprove/approve-then-delete your
comment. Rights of admission reserved.
