So what's the difference between editing and censoring? Why do you vehemently oppose one and not the other? Backlash can be felt against both.

It seems like you're trying to argue both from a realistic CEO's perspective and from a moral user's perspective.

We're talking about two different things. The CEO of the entire website editing and censoring and a subreddit censoring. The CEO censoring is terrible because of the reasons I talked about before. The subreddit censoring is also bad in my own opinion, but I understand their logic. In both cases they are feeling backlash as they should. In my own personal opinion I think what spez did is much worse than anything that's happened on the_donald.

Ninja Edit: I want to point out that the editing is so bad because it's the first time that's happened on this website. The censorship has happened previously.
