I think his point is about censorship and mostly about the US, where it's done covertly and there is a lot of influence over organizations that provide tech infrastructure. The government can therefore force those organizations to "voluntarily" participate in censorship programs or deny the service to someone effectively censoring it for almost everyone. Google, Facebook, Twitter already participate in such programs, but of course avoid calling them government censorship.
