I ask this question in regards to a game (Final Fantasy 7) that was banned (the selling of new copies) by the U.S. because at one point the characters belonged to a terrorist organization that fought against a corrupt governent. If there were terrorists in say, Nazi Germany, who fought against the governent, would we not think of them as heroes of some sort? I'll also add that the "terrorist group" in the game specifically targeted sites where there would be no innocents hurt.
How can a government support freedom so vehemently, and so quickly take it away? I hope this is understood not simply in the game situation, but in other areas such as gay rights, etc...
