"After all, it's only censorship if we disagree with it, right?" No, I wouldn't say that. A lot of people think that censoring some things is a good thing, and agree with it. They don't believe that then means that there was no censorship.

This is exactly my point. There are some people here that have a knee-jerk reaction to the word "censorship". They think it is hysteria, or only applies to the government, or even start thinking of legal arguments.
There is a lot more to society than just the law. We should not be afraid to discuss it.
