The government isn't censoring anything, they're allowing private organizations to block spam calls by default.

  When all channels of communication are owned and operated by private companies, it's not quite so clear cut as that. The only means of long-distance communication not operated by a private company is the USPS and that's simply not comparable to email/IM/telephony.

    Not at all. When all channels are owned and operated by private companies, then it is _clearly_ not government censorship.

      It's clearly not a free speech issue in much the same way that when military actions are conducted by private contractors instead of soldiers, violations of the rules of engagement are purely a private commercial issue and not the fault of the government.
