It is unique in human history because politicians love censorship of opposing views. But repression of discomforting thoughts is only basic to human nature, which is why it is a miracle that Madison ever added the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. Since that day our politicians on both sides have done everything they can to test the limits of free speech. When I was young it was the right. More recently it has been the left. But the pendulum swings both ways.
