Well, here they are right. Censorship is an action by a government, not by a company.

This does not change the fact that the Streisand effect for this stupid move is well deserved.

As the other person said, you are quite wrong.

Censor - to suppress or delete as objectionable

No...

The first amendment protects against censorship by the American government, ideally at least.

Private companies can and do censor shit constantly, and that is definitely censorship.

You've just seen people repeat it about the first amendment, didn't understand it, and are attempting and failing to regurgitate it

And if people see you using it wrong, they'll start off from an even worse position.

All you're doing is exacerbating the problem you think your fixing.
