Well since the USA does not own the Internet content. It comes from all over, I guess the US would become just like China, monitoring what Internet content could be served to the USA. Not gonna happen.

I think it was Stalin who said that it doesn't matter who votes. What matters is who counts the votes. In the internet world, the content doesn't matter. It's who controls the routers. It's pretty damn easy to shut it down.

Well, I know that. The problem is that, I don't believe that the USA would want to be seen as just another censor like China, because that is what the world would see.
