Technically, that's correct. But technically, you can call those square things floating in my coke "water cubes". It's not the term I would use, but it's technically correct. Most people would refer to them as "ice cubes" because it's more accurate and more descriptive. Just because a term is technically correct doesn't mean it's the most accurate.
In the same vein, I wouldn't use censorship to describe what happened on reddit and instead use "content curation" or even pruning. Using censorship implies the intentional suppression of information. The mods of /r/news were actually recommending other, more suitable subreddits for users to submit the controversial article, and pointing out places where you could find it (like in /r/worldnews). That, to me, shows they were more concerned with content curation and not actual suppression of information.
