It's not necessarily a bad thing to have a limited amount of censorship going on - what makes it a problem is when the censorship becomes intrusive and gains a dangerous agenda. I have no problem with the idea of censorship for things such as materials promoting hate, child pornography, snuff films etc., so it's actually counterproductive to cry 'censorship is bad!' when it's not being used in a bad way.
But isn't censorship by its very nature intrusive?
