86. Censorship, this is a word often misunderstood...
unpossibles has the most correct current meaning. The OP is asking an open question, as to how can the boundaries of prior-restraint on speech be expanded. On the college campus, in the workplace, outside of the United States, where smart people are, hate speech is actionable by the government, by request of the people voting for it. Democratically enacted "censorship" isn't necessarily a bad thing.
