Non-Fiction

I understand why foreign publishers might have a problem with writings that involve real people. Their libel and defamation laws are different, so they could be in serious legal trouble if they print certain things about actual people, especially the moneyed class.

Not sure why they made the provocative choice to redact openly, rather than simply removing the potentially liable text and the local readers none the wiser for it. Maybe they're trying to make a statement about how difficult the libel/defamation laws make their work?
