# Censorship Resistance
The claim or aspiration that a [decentralization](decentralization.md) network is resistant to the removal of content or transactions by an outside party or law enforcement. Censorship resistance is often touted as a feature of [blockchain](blockchain.md) and [crypto assets](cryptoasset.md).
See also [recentralization](recentralization.md).
