IS EDITING EXCESSIVE PROFANITY THE SAME THING AS CENSORSHIP? [+] serious ballot by Mithrandir ACTIVE Fri Aug 10, 07 - Sat Aug 09, 08 In a webcast of a Pearl Jam performance at the Lollapalooza concert last week, ATT muted out several words of a remake of Pink Flloyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall”. The words were “George Bush, leave this world alone” and “George Bush, find yourself another home.” AT&T admits they deliberately muted part of the song – saying it was a mistake by a webcast vendor. Adding “We have policies in place with respect to editing excessive profanity, but AT&T does not censor performances.” Yes It depends what you mean by profanity It depends what you mean by excessive It depends on the context It depends on the financial interests of the corporation doing the censorship No Other (please comment) Ballot #116868 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
