  Your example is people randomly sharing information. That is not the same as a Government entity after following the process outlined in the law, releasing information related to that Government action. We know who is awarded contracts, we know where tax payer money is going to, and so on because of disclosure requirements by Government entities.

  When an elected entity has acted in a manner accordance to law, that action ought to reasonably disclose the subject of that action. That's not to say 100% it always must be this way, but this is why we allow the public to comment on changes to those disclosure requirements.

  I would like for you to understand, there's a very fundamental difference between "random people" and "people via a method given power to rule over other people." That fundamental difference between the two is key to the point here.

  That doesn't change the aspect of it being censorship. It just means that a risk adverse company is risk adverse to the degree that they will employ censorship to maintain that aversion to risk. At the end of the day, it's censorship. The rationale for why they've employed it is notwithstanding.

  Publicly available police reports.

  I'm completely against doxxing. But there were public reports. That's censorship.

  Streaming is all the bad things about the music industry but made a thousand times worse. The pay outs, the requirement of specific laws surrounding streaming that make it different than every other method of music delivery, the lack of control by the consumer, the lack of any kind of ownership, the requirement of always online connectivity, and on.

  I don't want to be that boomer type person, but I'm pretty happy with staying with my CD and DVD collection that I have. I have a massive amount of portability, archiving, and it just works wherever I want to work. No fees, no internet required, and I have an immense amount of control over everything.

  This is just one of those things that I'm glad that I didn't get into this. It has sounded terrible since it was first pitched and I think it's only gotten worse.
