They're using such a wide definition of censorship that it'd be impossible to create a tech platform without censorship as there's just too much content for a single individual to consume, so one way or another the design decisions in the platform are going to prioritise which content to show to users in the time they have available. Light touch moderation has the exact opposite effect on public debate than this article is intending: A simple chronological feed prioritises the loudest voices and censors infrequent posters. Voting prioritises shorter snappier content and censors thoughtful longform content.
