censor

A former senior Facebook executive has told the BBC how the social media giant worked "hand in glove" with the Chinese government on potential ways of allowing Beijing to censor and control content in China.

CBS has asked the Federal Communications Commission to end its investigation into edits of its “60 Minutes” Kamala Harris interview, arguing that the federal government risks becoming “a roving censor” trampling on free speech rights.

She says she does not seek to “convert” or “cure” young clients, but argues the state may not “censor” their conversations.

Jake Hurfurt, the head of research and investigations at Big Brother Watch, said pressurising police forces to retract data was "the practice of an authoritarian censor not an accountable public body".

After ProPublica published exhaustively documented reports showing that women started dying in Texas and Idaho within weeks of the abortion bans being passed, both states moved to censor the data used to make these determinations.
