rumors are the next thing that authorities should be able to censor

I don't think that's the angle they're going for with this article, it's just more dishonest, misleading reporting, and 'rumors' was the best word they could use for that.

But they never stopped pushing against your right to spread information or speak opinions they don't like, and I don't believe they will anytime soon.

I have confidence that society will one day rededicate itself to freedom of speech, and the truth that it inevitably brings with it. Whether I live to see it is the question.
