Russia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, People's Republic of China... North Korea... There's more.

So far the USA isn't on the censorship list. The UK has censored the BBC in wartime, mainly WW2... but a bit in the Falkland Islands / Malvinas conflict with Argentina but this was internal direct censorship. Usually it's the BBC itself that is accused of censorship, mainly because for years it was the only radio broadcaster.
