It sounds like you're assuming that "censorship" is by definition illegitimate or morally wrong, but I don't think this is inherent to the word (except to the extent that we still live in a generally liberal, pro-speech society). HN removing opinions from its boards seems like it clearly qualifies as censorship, even if you agree with the removal.
