Censorship

A Florida judge has ordered The Palm Beach Post to remove from its website transcripts of telephone recordings in which a jailhouse informant bragged about his ability to get confessions from fellow inmates. The newspaper also had to remove two paragraphs from a story quoting the transcripts. Even though inmates are told their phone calls are being recorded, Judge Jack Schramm Cox held that printing the transcripts violated the snitch's privacy rights.
