Your comment is not really backed by any fact or reference of any “dictatorship”, so it’s only based on conspiracy theories…

Conspiracy theory? Censorship equals dictatorship. It's that simple.

I’m not saying you’re dealing in conspiracy theories, as I think that’s aggressive and irrelevant, but:

That’s not quite true; Germany censors tons of speech, and nobody would ever call them a dictatorship. Same is true for the UK and plenty of other countries, where the press is definitely “managed” and people can get thrown in jail for the things they say.

Censorship is one aspect of dictatorship, but not all censorship implies dictatorship.

I stand corrected and like this explanation about censorship, will use that from now on.
