I don't see Sajha censoring anything. But I think they might already have blocked the site in Nepal. Any info on that front? On SEBS self-censorship: Self-Censorship Is A Pathetic Development Paramendra Bhagat 2/9/2005 9:22:06 PM EST I think this is a major major mis-step. Free speech is by definition without guidelines. And take away the forum, and hardly any SEBSer will ever go visit the site. You are taking the community theme out, then what's left? An average SEBSer does not really care two hoots about the Ex-Com, no offense. To most SEBSers, the online forum has been their only connection to SEBS. Take that away, and what is left? SEBS as an organization is non-political, and has to be, because we are going to have SEBSers in all sorts of political camps. Heck, we even have Maoist SEBSers. But because SEBS is non-political, it also has no right to go around telling SEBSers what they may or may not talk about. SEBS does not, may not, dare not do that thinking on behalf of SEBSers. I hereby express my disagreement. In the meantime, if anyone would like to take the discussion to a forum I created a long time ago, I would be more than happy to get the traffic diverted my way: http://sebs.motime.com I will need your email address to send you an invite.
