The original comment was "Totally not like how access to Russian news outlets has been blocked by the West."

This statement is factually incorrect. I don't see where that argument was actually made.

But sure, some western countries have a level of censorship, yes, but that still doesn't approach the level of China.

And just because there is a wiki entry called western bloc, doesn't mean the western countries are uniform. The US is pretty well known for having broad, but not absolute, protections for freedom of speech.
