The Internet sees censoring as damage and routes around it accordingly.

'The Internet' is not a thing and won't route anything around. Censured sites stay censured.

No, that was Usenet. John actually said "the Net", but he was talking about Usenet. Usenet routing does work that way, although it's vulnerable to spoofing. Internet routing basically doesn't work that way at all and never has.
