Refusing to stand in the way of an onslaught of backlash that someone would receive for their speech is not censorship. No one has the right to be heard or be free from consequences. They just have the right to not be silenced by our government. In this case, people _outside of the bounds of the law_ are using their own agency to stop the speech. It's no different than me punching you in the face for using a derogatory term. I'm still subject to assault laws, but you might think twice before you use that term again around people.
You can call that whatever you like, but reality is, no one can realistically be stopped from stopping other people from speaking.
