It's censorship, it's just legal censorship because it's not the government doing it.

  That's not what censorship means.

    Here's what Merriam Webster says censorship means: >1 a : the institution, system, or practice of censoring >"They oppose government censorship." The example use calls out government censorship as a specific type of censorship. If "censorship" meant "the government censoring things" you would not need to specify "government censorship" in that sentence. Yes, I know that dictionary definitions are not necessarily the final word on what something means, but they're absolutely correct here. It is a broad word and it is widely used in other contexts. People other than the government can censor things. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_censorship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_censorship
