The New York Times witheld an article from publication in the UK from online users yesterday. The article, about legal proceedings in the UK from the British terror case, was considered prejudicial.
The New York Times used the same IP-identification technology used to target ads in an attempt to prevent UK readers from seeing the article. UK users had to actually read the Cache in Google or find it some other way.
In my past experience, this is a technology that is remarkable easy to circumvent through caches, VPNs, and other tools. Is it really censorship in that case, or just an inconvenience for most users?
