Editorial Judgement

My first impression about this article is how to make judgement by means of digital public square I don’t have any idea of what is that and how it is use but the thing that I know is it is for us to know information.

“Calling this censorship presumes the following: When it comes to information, anything goes. If it’s true, it’s always newsworthy. If it’s out there anywhere, it’s fair game. If publication causes pain, it’s not a problem. If you choose not to share it, you’re a censor.” – The quote from the article that really stuck in my mind.

This article mainly delivers the information about censorship. It is making your information not visible from others. It is very useful when it comes to the politicians and even the private people so that some of their private life becomes hidden and only closest friend and family are the one who knows their identities.
