For those who are don't read long messages, I'd like to summarize my
thoughts in a short message.
Censorship =~ rejection of traffic based on content
filtering =~ rejection of traffic based on invalid control messages
Unlike Telecom, IP sends control traffic "in-band". This means that
when that control traffic is filtered, people get confused, and call
it "censorship".
Can someone remind me why "censorship" must be a Bad Thing. As long as it's
explicit and appropriately authorised, I don't see any sensible objection.
Of course the word "censorship" carries a lot of emotional weight for some
people - I'm not sure it can be defined in narrowly technicals terms as
above - even approximately - It's a social thang.
