That’s not the standard definition of censorship. From Wikipedia:

> Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient".[2][3][4] Censorship can be conducted by governments,[5] private institutions and other controlling bodies

I can paste more, but if you just google “define censorship” I don’t think there’s a result on the first page that supports your claim.
