> Isn’t it too early to declare anti-US sentiment here?

Maybe, but in my experience it's usually the dominating factor. Anti-US sentiment can be high, and a lot of people from western countries are skeptical that the US can be any more free than their own in any capacity.

> Challenge one: Could it be that previous commenter touched certain dogma?

I don't believe so. The comment I replied to was using state schools banning some books as an example, even though I mention that in my comment and explain why it doesn't apply.

You'd have to be clear on what you think the dogma here might be, but whatever it may be I'm confident my position is backed by facts and reason.

> Challenge two: please try to stretch the definition of “censorship” a bit till you can say that USA has SOME censorship, maybe in disguise.

I never claimed the US has no censorship, just that it has a lot more freedom due to cultural and legal reasons in contexts like we are discussing here.

> No need to report results or reply / just try the exercise for elasticity of the mind)

Critical thinking is an important step in reasoning and a great way to keep a mind sharp, for sure.

> “Freedom” is defined quite differently by people in different countries. While the U.S. often focuses on freedom from government interference, in France, freedom also includes the idea that the government has a role in ensuring social justice and protecting individual rights, and in Baltic countries the freedom usually means freedom from a certain country.

That is interesting. I would say that latter definition applies in the US as well though. For example, we all expect to be free of crime due to police and such, even if that expectation is not always met.
