,----[ Quote ]
| According to Cactus Kate, APN instructed
| editors to spike any stories that could
| trigger legal action or are otherwise

IGF 2009: Dull speeches and bad wine
,----[ Quote ]
| So Iâm sat in the opening ceremony of the
| Internet Governance Forum in Sharm El
| Sheikh â a cosy cinema seat at the further
| front-right of a giant summit hall â
| watching the various dignatories giving a
| wide variety of dull speeches.
|
| [...]
|
| Oh no! Iâm being censored again
|
| Just as inevitable as dull speeches at
| these events is the Grand Censorship
| Moment. Itâs come early this year, barely
| hours after the doors opened.

Glenn Beck Not Allowed To Rape And Murder An Internet Meme
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in September, we wrote about Glenn
| Beck's misguided attempt to gain control
| over the domain name used as part of an
| internet meme that is critical of Glenn
| Beck,
| GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990.com
| (it's a dead site now, keep reading). If
| you're unfamiliar with the meme, it's
| mocking a favorite tactic of various cable
| news talk show hosts, to "ask questions"
| that are accusatory in nature, whether or
| not there's any substance to back them up.
| Glenn Beck didn't accuse the site of
| defamation or anything, but filed a domain
| name complaint, saying that it violated his
| trademark.
