So that’s your definition of censorship. However the first result on Google points to a different definition. One more in line with my understanding.
> What is a simple definition of censorship?
> Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others. Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups.
In short, it doesn’t stop being censorship simply because it is an individual or corporation. Only censorship by the US Government is un-constitutional. So censorship isn’t always illegal. That doesn’t mean it isn’t censorship.
