Summary: Richard Stallman spoke about an important aspect of censorship more than 2 decades ago (before "Open Source" even existed); it was published in Datamation ("Censoring My Software") 23 years before a campaign of defamation on the Internet was used to remove him from MIT and FSF (censoring or 'canceling' Stallman himself)
Note: I used to be a writer at Datamation, but I stopped after they had been removing parts of my articles (
especially those critical of Microsoft, which was a sponsor). I've since then written only in
Techrights.
