> As horrible as many of things the US has done in the name of its citizens (and on its citizens) one thing you'll never see happen here is internet censorship
Internet censorship happens in the US, though its mostly in the form of government pressure on major internet companies to remove access to disfavored content rather than direct government censorship.
Hmm, it is disfavored or illegal content originating in the US?
Because I've seen US law enforcement takedown US websites that were breaking US laws but I've never heard of law enforcement forcing US isps block foreign content, even if it is breaking US law. I could be wrong though and I'd like to see an example in that case.
Maybe the government making youtube or facebook take down terrorist content, that would be censorship I guess if the content is not technically illegal but that's a pretty extreme example.
When it is done because of content, and particularly to suppress content (as opposed to the domain owners rights to particular content), there is a pretty good argument that it is a form of censorship.
