Commenters annoyed by sensationalism, use of the term "censorship", or the lack of a substantive argument, should bear one thing in mind: It's an art installation.

A successful show needs a message, and needs press. It's very accepted within the art community for the message to be a bit blurred around the edges. Take these "cyberlibertarian progenitors", for instance. Who are they and how are they making people believe the internet is a "flat, endless digital plain"? Any sources? No? Well, it doesn't really matter, because this isn't really journalism. It could be very important to the artists – of course it would be very important to them! – but it should not be judged by journalistic standards.

Sadly, this does mean that Vice is something less than a home for journalism proper – but why would anyone ever have started to think that in the first place?
