I thought that only moderated groups could censor. Usually, the newsgroup moderators are little fascists who blatantly indulge their own agendas and biases, and blatantly suppress opposing views, now matter how articulate, legitimate, and well-presented those views might be.
Unmoderated groups are flooded by porno, spam, and crank-hate messages. Can't win, either way. I think that a lot of this is government games. They cannot stand having a source of information that they cannot control, in the way that they can control the bought-off, obedient lapdogs and cowards of the mainstream media.
I think that they also have a small army of bully-boy propaganda artists trying to attack anyone who tries to present ideas that they don't like.
They are not really much different than China, just being less open about their news suppression, and trying to maintain our precious American delusion of democracy. As Europeans observers commented about Russia - a "managed" democracy.
With "managed' meaning "sham", "puppet", "completely manipulated".

So much for the FREE SPEECH DEMOCRACY bragged about by Usenet advocates! Sure...unless you are a HOMOSEXUAL advocate who speaks the undistorted TRUTH!
Thanks for AFFIRMING my suspicions, Tom. If you can delve into this further, I'd MOST appreciate it. Seems that Usenet "democracy" does not extend to gay free speech!

Subject: The Righteous LGBT Reign of the Branch of Jesse
http://ezekielk.tblog.com/post/1969969055
Latest blog, another precious pearl of wisdom!
Regarding Usenet censorship: it has increased more than two-fold:
Besides the following 7 newsgroups:
alt.funnytown, alt.humor, alt.jokes, rec.humor
alt.arts.storytelling, alt.creative.writing, rec.arts.prose
it seems I am now ALSO censored from these ADDITIONAL groups:
alt.paranormal,alt.paranormal.channeling,alt.paranormal.reincarnation
alt.christnet,alt.religion.christian,christnet.general,christnet.philosophy
ba.politics,talk.politics.misc
christnet.religion,christnet.theology,christnet.christianlife,christnet.ethi cs,christnet.evangelical
christnet.theology,christnet.christianlife
That amounts to ONE THIRD of the standard groups I post my gay spiritual articles!
How do I conclude this? Well, I just attempted to upload my latest article, "The Righteous LGBT Reign of the Branch of Jesse" to a collection of relevant newsgroups...and those listed above REJECTED me! NONE of these Usenet groups are moderated, BTW, thus indicating a HEAVY HAND in censorship of ANY pro-gay material that does not kowtow to hetero ass-licking! (Heck, I wouldn't even consider licking a GAY asshole, unless he felt REALLY special!)
I did manage nonetheless, to POST this controversial piece to those groups in question, via Google Usenet...where I have SEVERAL unique subscriptions in preparation of anticipated censorship. Once my Google pseudonyms are all censored, I'll simply create several MORE of them, and resume my posting!
Though I must admit: with a humble 56kbps modem, posting via Google is a cumbersome and sluggish ordeal. Especially since they've recently REVAMPED their interface with NARROW post windows (where you can't even see what you just input w/o tedious re-examination) and sloppy user interface! They come off like you really SHOULDN'T post anything at all, but if you do, you SHALL be PUNISHED by a grievously hostile interface.
That's Das Amerikan Kapitalism for ya! Bash or be bashed.
