Can blocking various tlds considered as censorship by restricing a user by saying whatever tlds they must on their domain related to blog or a lemmy instance ? Is defining a specific set of tlds as abusive accurate as anyone have the right to choose whichever tld they wanna use ?

    Thank you for being intelligent.

    Censorship in most people’s contextual usage of it is Government censorship or protection from Government censorship–which is the only protection we have afforded to us by the Constitution.

    For example you can be censored by your employer completely legally. They can tell you that you’re not allowed to say certain things and if you do you can be fired for those things completely legally. You still have the right to say them but you’re not free of consequence if you do.

    The Government does not have the same right unless it deals with non-protected speech, like hate speech.
