I agree with you that seizing counterfeit goods is similar to this, and not censorship, but at the same time it’s dangerous/unhelpful to define censorship based on wether the goods/information is “legal” or not.
I’m guessing most authoritarian censorship is, in the local legal system, just seizing illegal goods.
Wether its censorship or not is more dependent on the type of information/goods, and to some extent the moral or cultural framework of the observer.
Is the suggested ban in Sweden on posting photos/videos of dead people censorship or just a reasonable way to protect relatives of e.g terrorist attacks?
