UJM: You’re way off base here, for a number of reasons. Censorship has no “Halacha” behind it, except in the context of self-censorship. Obviously there are things I may not say, write, hear, believe, etc. because I am controlled by Halacha and the will of Hashem. And obviously Halacha often dictates what I may say in a comment, news article, etc. If YWN would be concerned about that, many of the published articles wouldn’t see the light of day, and most of the comments on those articles would either be ignored or “redacted”. And then, of course, YWN would go out of business because it’s a boring website. Our discussion is about YWN’s moderation criteria, which clearly has little or nothing to do with halachic issues.
