I've been reading more and more about censorship on the bitcoin forums.  They're becoming like the North Korean media.

What the flying hell did I just read...first give me my 10 minutes back :D. Second woah I need a moment to comprehend all that, crazy that that much manipulation can occur from the top down. I am not surprised their is

corruption in cryptos because that much we all could expect but the manipulation of the biggest channels of bitcoin on the internet. Jesus maybe I should stop being surprised by all these scandals...gotta stop it does!

Nerds gotta have their fun, whereever or whatever they may be. I often wonder who Theymos really is.

You are posting this on a Bitcoin forum and are not being censored.  Bitcointalk is generally uncensored.

What you mean is that the subreddit r/bitcoin is censored.  You are correct, but you're missing the point. 

They're not anything like the North Korean media, because the North Korean media is in the public sector and cannot be legally shown from the private sector.  Therefore, in North Korea they are capable of censoring all other communication channels, whereas r/bitcoin cannot do this.
