Definition ∞ 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.
Context ∞ The concept of “censorship-free” is a fundamental value proposition for many cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications, frequently highlighted in news regarding government regulations or corporate control over digital platforms. Debates often center on the extent to which a blockchain truly achieves censorship resistance, especially concerning validator centralization or protocol governance. This attribute remains a critical discussion point for the future of digital freedom and open finance.
