Spot the Not #3 - wacky censorship

Below is a list of censorship cases. All of them are real except one which I made up. Can you Spot the Not?

1. It is illegal to own a typewriter in Cuba without a license.

2. The Weird Al song "Don't Download this Song" was censored by MTV because it mentioned the names of file sharing sites.

3. It is illegal in China to mention the date of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

4. It is illegal in Germany to draw a swastika with a "no" symbol on top of it.

5. An episode of Star Trek the Next Generation was censored in the UK because it called the IRA's terror campaign a success.

6. It is illegal in India to use the phrase "new and improved" in advertising.
