Here's a link to the full story, just so we can get the facts accurate:

What really happened here is what I've been talking about previously. This is an example of our society censoring the views of other people. When someone here thought that I was from a different planet, because I thought that censorship here was not different from the former Soviet Union. It's not!

A countries ideology is supported by the majority. If this viewpoint does not agree with that ideology, the majority will seek some method to suppress it.

This example is a perfect example of suppressing the rights of other individuals. It's done in every country.

Another example in the US was the suppression of the movie The Last Temptation of Christ. The Catholic Church was outraged. They had managed to protest it so well that you could only see this movie in a few art film theaters across the country.

So, in the United States we usually do not have the government doing it, but our own citizens using powerful organizations to suppress information like religious groups and corporations. Capitalism just suppresses freedoms using methods that are different from other ideologies like Socialism.
