> The United States government does not employ censors to remove portions of shows

What? Yes it does - the FCC has been doing this for a half-century at least.

I noted that in my comment:

> We ban pornography on public airwaves (but not on streaming or cable or satellite, or Blueray).

And the FCC has a very narrow scope. I also happen to disagree with their prudishness (Janet Jackson, 2003). It does not back the argument that we're "honestly no better".

FCC always only covers broadcast TV and radio, not cable or streaming.

Which shows and which portions specifically have been removed/censored/banned by the FCC?
