While I would not be for government censorship enforced by law, in nearly every case, citizen censorship is something we all do, and we all agree with. We decide who to interact with, who to invite over, who to engage in discussions with. In the internet age, where anyone can have access to everyone, the censor is each of us, on the properties we create. We too often lose sight of normal human behavior when we interact online, but a brief reflection can be enlightening and help remind us of what is appropriate and what is not.
