Aou has decided to censor Amren dot com. You can find his stated reasons for this Here and Here. I disagree with calling the reprinting of articles "spam". Given the terseness of his response to me, as well as the questions he didn't answer, I guess that he considers the matter settled and not worthy of further discussion.

Banning Amren is a popular action right now; archive.org has done just that to avoid "White supremacists" using their service for evil.

It's possible that my concern isn't warranted, but this seems very much to me like when FPH was banned from Reddit-that-was. The reason I love poal is because it doesn't pull shit like this; it doesn't ban sites like Amren. I wonder where this leads. Not even being able to type out amren's URL is inconsistent with the ideal of free speech.

Please only post links to original Amren content, or, if you find an article that they have reprinted on their site, please post to the original publisher as apparently, reprinting stories is now 'spam'.

Aou had posted the following as proof that it was spam:

>We're not doing this again, so I'm just gonna paste a comment I made 3 days ago.

Remove the spaces in the url and compare the content with the original sources linked at the bottom of the copypasta, you'll see that it's obvious spam.

The contention seems to be if it were so obvious that it was spam to reprint articles, then no one would disagree with banning Amren. Having seen exactly zero people agree with @AOU on this, I'd say that it is not obvious.

Sticky'd so that everyone can make up their own minds.
