I think there's definitely truth in that, but also probably a measure of political bias in turn. Another major cause of difference in opinion one person may have on censorship, in addition to or instead of any blind political bias, is that "censorship" is simply a broad term, and therefore it's not hypocritical to consider oneself generally "anti censorship", but admit its necessity at times. But obviously most things work that way - the distinction is mostly semantics, since nearly anybody who considers themselves "pro X" or "anti X" is, in practice, not an absolutist on X, which is pretty reasonable. Rather, being "pro" or "anti" such broad concepts is typically an expression of opinion that is strictly relative to general societal trends surrounding X at the time.
