It does not directly address censorship.
However, the 1st Amendment's prohibition on restrictions of freedom of speech and press indirectly restrict attempts at censorship.
Thus, indirectly, the US Constitution prohibits censorship except in the case where it can be shown to directly support other competing Consitutional guarranties - such as the National Security exception, where the right of national self-defense is seen to trump free press/speech in certain circumstances, and thus, allow censorship in those cases.
