Censorship continues. Editors are no longer frightened of politicians but of Islamist violence, oligarchs and CEOs. They worry about libel and the ability of the wealthy to bend the ear of their proprietors or withdraw advertising. But they are not frightened about leaking the secrets or criticising the actions of elected governments, skriver den britiske journalisten Nick Cohen i Literary Review.

They can never admit to their audience that fear of violent reprisals, ostracism or crippling financial penalties keeps them away from subjects that ought to concern them – and their fellow citizens,» skriver den britiske journalisten Nick Cohen, i anledning hans nye bok You Can’t Read This Book: Censorship in an Age of Freedom.
