Debatable... While China is a surveillance state and may censor to keep Western influences from its citizens, the U.S. might need to restrict content to prevent illegal activities that could cause harm. (also all other countries should make sure of it). In the EU, it is a double - edged sword, the DMCA, if not carefully implemented, could quickly slide into censorship,since it could restrict legitimate expression under the guise of copyright protection and hate speech.
