    I’m not the one who told corrected you earlier, but ket me reiterate…

    You are incorrect in your assumption that our “country,” government, etc. censors our speech. Some people choose to self-censor and the government has nothing to do with that.

    Also, you seem confused about what free speech (see: first amendment) actually means. This XKCD might help explain it to you.

      The government does actually censor broadcast television and radio. I can’t remember why they’re allowed to.
