10. in that sense yes
When corporate and government become so intertwined and when there is a free market in name only, that is in a fascistic society, it is censorship.

But to get at the heart of the issue for me, the problem is not that a business decides what it wishes to release (my original point), the problem you speak of is when there is only one viewpoint in control in business and when that viewpoint and the government become completely intertwined.

The solution is not to force business into releasing something they don't want to release, but to break the ties between business and government & to make sure there are not monopolies in the news and entertainment industry.
