I see that you've tried to turn it into your smurf word for "being controlled," and that since you know you're wrong, you're pre-loading with "in practice"
Why? Because it's not like it in practice either, but "in practice" it's like what you want it to mean, and that's where you'll try to draw the metaphor from
To be censored is to be told that you cannot publish something at all
No, it does not mean "you cannot publish it here." You can still go publish somewhere else? Not censored.
The Food Network doesn't want to publish your physics thesis? You're not censored.
Facebook doesn't want your love letter to Nazis? (oh who are we kidding, of course they do.) But that's not censorship either.
YouTube wants to take down your anti-vax stuff? Still not censored.
UK Government says Starship Troopers cannot be published? Oh. Well that's actual censorship.
This isn't challenging, nobody's learning from your struggle, and you're boring the adults.
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.
Censorship is to imitate the Roman Censors.
