No one suggested it isn’t censorship, you’re bating here. Not deploying
enough international capacity is absolutely a form or censorship deployed to
great avail - if international sites load too slow, you can skimp on GF
appliances!

So.. who was being "censored" when a recent game release caused capacity
problems and slow throughput for others?

Censorship, *by definition*, is content-dependent.  Capacity issues are either
byte-count or packet-count dependent, and don't distinguish between pictures of
huge rubber duckies in Tiananmen square, and pictures of Mount Kilimanjaro.
