Technically true, but censorship in the classic sense implies that those censoring expression hold a position of power. I censor what one can say or do in my apartment, after all. If you want to go on a bigoted tirade in my home, I reserve the right to kick you out. Similarly, if I can ever get an instance spun up, I'll be banning bigoted speech because hey... I can do what I like in my private space.
I will defend the right to be free from government censorship of expression every day... but I will never feel obligated to provide anyone a soapbox to share their views.
