How do you define censorship?
Someone commented in another journal the idea that censorship is something only governments can do.
I had defined it as something people with power do to people (publications, performances, etc) they have power over.
ETA: by power I meant institutionally-based authority, not merely physical force. "Institution" can include social institutions, such as clubs, churches, or families.
