Companies & Governments in the US & West censor for political reasons. Why is this any different?

When was the last time you saw a pair of boobs on an US sitcom?

Game of Thrones? I'm not really a TV guy.

I was specifically intrigued by what the GP saw as political censorship, but I see what you mean.

boob ^1 /buːb/

INFORMAL

noun

1. BRITISH an embarrassing mistake. "the boob was spotted by a security expert at the show"

2. NORTH AMERICAN a foolish or stupid person. "why was that boob given a key investigation?"

plenty of pairs of both on American sitcoms!
