Christ, spin-meister yourself or at least a good attempt at
misinformation.

PGP, or some other authentication method does one thing and one
thing only, make sure the message is who is says it is from.
It does nothing to limit content, or conversation, or prevent
any individual from posting their views.  It does nothing to
enforce political correctness. 

Again, PGP causes no censorship, it simply would put an end to
(99.9% of) the fakes.

Agreed.  I haven't been on CIS, and I'm not advocating anything
from the CIS "atmosphere" to come over here.  But unless you
have a hidden agenda against stopping the fakes, you mis-understand
PGP.  It does not censor.
