>Private company: Not censorship. It is censorship. They do it of their own volition, without the government forcing their hand, and it's well within their right to do it. But it is, by definition, censorship. What it isn't - however - is a violation of a very specific legal rule regarding free speech that often has the misfortune of being conflated with the entirety of free speech as a principle. >And, yeah, it's tough to specifically define what's "toxic" and/or "offensive." Yup, and it's doubly hard because the people that want the censorship don't want to admit there are no objective standards and it's all a question of preference.
