While private websites can censor images and speech, they are subject to civil laws for
which they can be sued.
Anyone can be sued in the civil courts ,as long as the complainant is willing to endure the legal costs of trying to prove material harm caused by the defendant.
When a non governmental entity enforces their arbitrary, subjective standards as to what Data/images can be uploaded to their web servers this is NOT "censorship" this is enforcement of private property rights.
The people who scream "censorship" over website/social media policies typically are having an emotional reaction to some private entity removing or blocking ,banning them from posting something they incorrectly thought that they somehow had the"right" to post.
