If he was legally forced to remove the pictures, I suppose that would be censorship, although not automatically bad. IP rights rely on censorship to stop other people from publishing what's covered by the IP. The problem with censorship isn't that it exists, it's that it's used inappropriately.
Google deciding not to do business with a dick and/or someone who violates their terms of service is not censorship. As far as I'm aware, Google isn't the government.
