Censors went so far as to touch other people who had just logged on to an article, accusing them of “defamatory accusations” (for mere links!)
We are writing to you regarding the defamatory allegations contained in this publication http://www. tuxmachines. org/node/162969
FLOSSK is the local organizer of DebConf22. The accusations published in https://debian. communiy and republished in TuxMachines. org are absurd and cast a negative light on our female members and friends. They are unacceptable to us and deserve to be. The original post is by Daniel Pocock, about whom we have won many court cases from members and friends.
We try to look for equivalent opportunities. All other people for whom we pay for accommodation, including all organisers, will be accommodated at the Prizren Innovation and Training Park. Others can also sign up for a moderate fee.
We ask that you remove this post as soon as possible and apologize.
Thank you, arianit

That was two years ago. Without delay, I responded on IRC and pointed out these censorship attempts. I chose not to remain silent and did not obey this request for censure.
I don’t live in Kosovo and even if I did live in Kosovo, linking to an article wouldn’t violate any laws.
Daniel Pocock denounced men who treated women badly. These men, who treated women badly, in turn attacked and defamed M. Pocock in hopes of diverting attention from the way they treat women poorly (e. g. , by exploiting them). We have noticed this trend many times before, in political contexts. █
