Of all the things threatening bitcoin this is by far the least worrisome. What if people start writing links to censored/illegal content on circulating dollar bills? Nothing, that's what.

You can just throw away a dollar bill with illegal stuff on it. You can not throw away the data of a bitcoin transaction without throwing away all transaction which occurred later on the block chain.
Bad analogy. There aren't copies of said dollar bill in the wallet/purse of everyone that uses dollar bills.
