Correct me if I’m misreading, but the link is to a blog post entitled “...an Opportunity ... to End Censorship”. ISPs and governments snooping on your browsing is surveillance, not censorship. Taking down sites and removing them from search results certainly is censorship.

It is talking about a particular type of censorship where connections are blocked. Think the Great Firewall of China.

It is nothing to do with censorship where the actual source is removed, as with the right to be forgotten and DMCA takedowns.

That’s what I meant, it’s (a type of) censorship, not surveillance.
