Obama as he's being informed of the Orlando shooting

Oh no. Porn. The government is causing so much harm to people. Where has it been enforced? How?

So just because it's not being enforced means your okay with it? Why should people have call their ISP up and request to view things on their own internet that they pay for? Who is the government to tell you what you can and can't view, especially considering everything that got blocked was legal.

This isn't censorship, this is simply a law requiring you to prove something you claim about a person or business when you publish it.

...............Which is still censorship.

That woman was not convicted for her poetry, it just happened to be a thing she did.

But she was arrested in the first place FOR the poetry, it wasn't until they searched her house that they found other informational material which even then wasn't able to prove she was a credible threat which is why the case was acquitted.

That last example you've used was a case of the Guardian choosing to destroy their own copy of those documents. By themselves. After the government had requested numerous times (not enforced any legal action). They chose to destroy their documents to stop whatever possibility of legal action might have occurred.

Your government basically forced them into destroying it or having legal action taken against them and possibly closing the guardian as a whole down. That's no real choice at all, that's an ultimatum. You can even read the guardians other articles about the event such as this:

"Between 16 and 19 July government pressure intensified and, in a series of phone calls and meetings, the threat of legal action or even a police raid became more explicit."

Heywood, sent personally by David Cameron, told the editor to stop publishing articles based on leaked material from American's National Security Agency and GCHQ. At one point Heywood said: "We can do this nicely or we can go to law". He added: "A lot of people in government think you should be closed down."

But according to you all this is fine because technically your government only requested them and "didn't enforce any legal action".

Anyways, I'm done debating with you. It seems you just want to believe your country has such a better way of doing things that you refuse to see the flaws your country now faces because of it.
