Moderation is not censorship.
Moderation is for forums where readers have little control over who is posting the content that you are seeing, so the forum tries to shape the content for the readers in one way or another. Examples: Reddit, HN, trending or boosted social media posts.
Censorship is when the reader elects to get information from a known source, and someone or something intervenes to prevent the information from arriving. Examples: twitter blocking content from a source whose readers elected to follow them, filtering emails from known contacts, filtering private messages.
For AI, it might depend on the specificity of the question whether it's more like moderation or more like censorship.
