This is an actually good one, speaking as an American. I disagree with you, and that makes this a good answer to the question posed in this thread. I disagree with you because to understand why America can't have nice things, you need to imagine what it would look like if the Republicans were in charge of implementing them (because they basically are, and have been more or less unchallenged since Reagan). So, no, I'm not in favor of censorship, because what we'd get is censorship a la Republican, where you're free to use the N-word, but criticizing the government, CEOs, Wall Street, or Jesus will get you sent straight to jail.
