Let X be the fully-expanded form of the statement “1 = 1 and 2 = 2 and 3 = 3 and 4 = 4 and […] and 9999999999 = 9999999999 and 10000000000 = 10000000000“. X is obviously true, but you can’t say X because you’d be dead before you finished speaking it. Censorship!
Or for a version with purely legal consequences, how about:
“I hereby threaten to kill you if you don’t give me a million dollars.”
If one says this seriously, then it is true (the speaker is in fact making a threat), and also illegal.
(You might object that the statement can still be made in contexts where it would be understood as a joke, but that objection could apply to almost any statement.)
Actually, whether you can get away with saying something as a joke without significant consequences is actually a pretty decent heuristic for whether or not that thing is subject to censorship in your society, i’d say. So that point is kind of self defeating.
You should paywall this
Quick, someone get this guy $753,361!!!
*$753,646...
Well I can’t say the title was clickbait if you really can’t say them lol

Title: "This title is clickbait"
Article: "Yeah, it really was."
It's true. We know many obvious and true things cannot be said.
Genuinely, I can't put into words how much I
I'm actually speechless that
It goes without saying that
You forgot about the "public service announcement" exception:

If this be satire
Then Hahahahahaha
Let X be the fully-expanded form of the statement “1 = 1 and 2 = 2 and 3 = 3 and 4 = 4 and […] and 9999999999 = 9999999999 and 10000000000 = 10000000000“. X is obviously true, but you can’t say X because you’d be dead before you finished speaking it. Censorship!
Write X as
1 = 1 and
2 = 2 and
3 = 3 and
[...]
9999999999 = 9999999999 and
10000000000 = 10000000000.
Fully expand each term into a sum of units:
1 = 1 and
1 + 1 = 1 +1 and
1 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 +1 and
[...]
1 + 1 + 1 + [...] +1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + [...] + 1 = 9999999999 and
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + [...] +1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1+ [...] + 1 = 10000000000
Apply cancelations:
1 = 1 and
1 = 1 and
1 = 1 and
[...]
1 = 1 and
1 = 1
Remove redundant statements:
1=1
Yeah, I said it!!!

While you can't say any of them, I couldn't agree more about how obvious they are.
Phew I thought you might get yourself in serious trouble here.
