Rixstep article “Guardian Censoring Information in Assange Case” reports
on censorship exercised in The Guardian against links to Professors
blogg. Wikileaks Central had reported likewise (see “Possible gag order on the Guardian re Assange case?).
Update. As to the Swedish case, preliminary conclusions contained in the article here below and in the version in Second-Opinion on the responsibilities of the opinion-censorship in the Swedish media apparatus were based in written information provided to us by Twingly. Twingly was specifically informed at the moment of our consultation that I was preparing an article in the issue to be published abroad. After my report was published in the Swedish Second-Opinion Twingly changed their version in 180 degrees and now affirms instead that it was not their clients, the Swedish press, that exercised censorship to the Assange-articles in Professors blogg. First they say Twingly was not the responsible and implied the newspapers moderators. Now they say the newspapers were not at all the responsible. What has happened after our publication and why Källström is giving this totally new version only those actors know.

The
newspapers from their part gave inconclusive versions. Svenska
dagbladet informed per email that the problem was of “technical” nature
and “beyond their control”, implying that it was caused by an external
actor. Expressen (web-redaktionen) informed over the telephone that the
responsibility of whether blogs appeared linked to their articles is
clearly Twingly’s. But the journalist giving this information when
I talked to Expressen's web-redaktionen 17 March, 17:28 (call
loged from Italy), in spite of giving her name did not wish to be
quoted. Dagens Nyheter for their part plainly refused to comment.
Twingly denied any wrongdoing.
