Letting private press say whatever they want in a country where capitalists would love to take over the state would be suicide. Capitalists have a muzzle placed on them. Legitimate criticism from the working classes is not censored, while misinformation and pro-capitalist speech is.

Yes, that’s the communist/Chinese defense, except it also translates to an easy excuse for other, illegitimate reasons for censorship. Don’t like a certain guy? Censored! You say legitimate criticism isn’t censored, why should I believe that? If they can use censorship to oppress queer people they could do it oppress others.
