I think you're trying to stretch a point here, use the term censorship when that's not quite called for. You're trying to say x is equivalent with y, and readers are supposed to realise that this makes x bad.
When you do that, you run the risk that readers instead think that y is good. In this case, that they might think Trump etc. have learned to exploit and misuse freedom of speech such that the practical result is an overdose of misinformation, worse than censorship. "So yes, he's right, let's legalise censorship."
