> If I have to log into a website in order to comment, is that "censorship"?

There are plenty of news outlets where I'm unable to leave a comment under a news article, because the only supported option is have a FB account which I don't have.

I don't feel censored but I'm definitely silenced.

And why don't you make a FB account?

Because he does not want to send Facebook every comment he makes on the internet? Specially your political ideas and opinions.

I don't have a FB either. For me it is like the Stasi, tracking everything you do, only way more detailed.

When I talk with friends, my exact opinions are forgotten over time, while FB will record your exact opinion on September 20th, at 8:12pm for your entire life.

So does HN, but here you are.

HN doesn't require my phone number to register nor does it track my web browsing habits.

Is this question an example of the “loaded question” logical fallacy?

No.
