Forum censorship

[forrie]

There was an interesting discussion relative to the recent actions Apple has taken, regarding access to and scanning of private content. That article was available HERE.

Moments ago, it was deleted.

This doesn't seem reasonable. I have a copy of the thread here and I don't see any obvious "violation" that might warrant this.

What is MacRumor's position here?

looks like it was deleted for politics... but I think it can be discussed without overt politics. Hang on.

Interesting. Well, I don't know that it was politics in terms of -- well, how do you define this? What Apple is doing is clearly political, but its affect is across the ecosystem. Some healthy discourse is OK, I don't see a need to censor this closely, seems counter-productive.

Thank you! I think I (we) have been staying within the rules, but if I don't please feel free to let me know.
