A censorship-free system or network is designed to resist interference, control, or suppression of information or transactions by any central authority. Participants can interact and transmit data without fear of arbitrary blocking or alteration. This characteristic is a core tenet of many decentralized technologies, particularly blockchains, where transactions are immutable once recorded. It ensures open and permissionless access for all users.
