AT&T's Blue Room Censors Pearl Jam > Content Monitor????

said by Maxo:

Your claim is baseless, his is based. According to whom censorship is only an act of government? Not according to Websters definition of the word, which is more widely respected than some guy on the internet's definition of the word. Site a respected source that dictates censorship is an act only performed by the government. If something is removed based on content that is by definition "being censored." By definition any time something is censored that is "censor"ship.

Edit: content, not contact.

if the federal government asked at&t to censor pearl jams speech, then they would be liable for committing an unconstitutional act as an agent of the government... however, the allegation is that pearl jam had their speech censored by a corporate entity working unto itself to control it's content... that is suppression of speech, not censorship of speech.
