Didn't expect to see the USA employing press censors in my lifetime but here we are.

In Brazil during the dictatorship it was common for newspapers to print cooking recipes in place of censored articles, now I'm waiting to see if media in the USA has the balls to play the malicious compliance game... I guess I won't see it since money is basically God in America.



One could argue they're not the same, but there has been TV broadcast censors for decades in the US. They were still least following somewhat defined laws though.

I expect them to continue to do so, except that uncle Donald is the law now.
