Well, no. Several European countries practice censorship.
The US tends to want to censor nudity and porn, while Europe tends to want to censor violence. ie the Euro version of Carmagedon has zombies with green blood while the US version has humans with red blood.
It's funny though. All these US politicians raise a stink about pornagraphy yet within 20 miles of my house there are 4 or 5 porn video rental stores.
So while some politicians would take away our freedom of speech, judges generally tend to protect us. Not always unfortunately, but many of the times.
Aside from the countries you would expect (eg. China), the only censorship of the net I've seen suceed has come from Europe... think Germany people.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I believe all Euro versions have the zombies. What I meant about censorship succeeding in Germany was the Compuserve fiasco.
