Boing Boing Controversy
In June 2008, bloggers began to notice that Violet Blue's content from the blog Boing Boing was systematically removed. Boing Boing responded to the controversy by publishing a brief explanation on their blog:
"Bottom line is that those posts (not "more than 100 posts," as erroneously claimed elsewhere) were removed from public view a year ago. Violet behaved in a way that made us reconsider whether we wanted to lend her any credibility or associate with her. It's our blog and so we made an editorial decision, like we do every single day. We didn't attempt to silence Violet. We unpublished our own work. There's a big difference between that and censorship."1
