>You suppressed their speech
right, no censorship. for there to be censorship, there has to be a censor. that has to be a governing authority with the capability to say X is not allowed.
Tumblr bloggers have no such authority, and cannot be censors, and therefore cannot censor speech.
also conveniently not included in your definitions of censor
>a : an official who examines materials (as publications or films) for objectionable matter
>b : an official (as in time of war) who reads communications (as letters) and deletes material considered sensitive or harmful
>2: one of two magistrates of early Rome acting as census takers, assessors, and inspectors of morals and conduct
care to guess what an official is in this context?
