Towards the end of the full article they state "filtering is not censorship". Well I beg to differ any restrictions on the media is a form of censorship, you can play with semantics but the result is the same. It means some government official is thinking for the individual, not the individual thing for themselves.
Of course a country can choose to implement these measures and of course nobody will try to "bypass" the system as we are all such well behaved proles.
However, it is other countries and the free media that will comment and the public opinions in those countries will draw their own conclusions about censorship.
My other concern is the use of these forums by an organisation that in effect may censor us. Are they using the forum for propoganda purposes or not? We can all decide on that for ourselves as our minds are not censored sorry filtered .......Yet!!
