Censorship is bad when China does it. Censorship is bad when America does it.

Same for Germany, Australia, Japan, North and South Korea.

Governments don't censor speech because they protect their citizens, they censor speech because it protects their monopoly on violence and help propagate their visions to an unquestioning audience.
