We've joined China

The worst thing about the evil CCPs internet blockade is that they block information about things like Falun Gong Meditation all the while slandering it to the people using the state run media machine, entirely preventing people from finding out the facts about the 7 year persecution against it and the atrocities the ccp has committed.

At least the US hasn't quite come to that level, although censorship of that sort is really irrational. It makes no sense to do that to gambling if you aren't moreso willing to do it to things like child pornography and terrorism.

Hey, you can buy your own gun and shoot people, then if you have money enough you can get yourself a good lawyer and not go to jail. Isn't that freedom?

Actually, there is some difference between mass media in the US and the rest of the world.

For example, the US TV tends to show Iraqi children playing and laughing on a merry-go-round, while most of the rest of the world opts for blood-smeared walls and children with severed limbs. Foreign media also more openly talk about "Bush using the terrorist card once more" and so forth. You may argue that this isn't exactly censorship, but at least it gives a somewhat distorted image of what is really happening.
