Okay, you win a small victory: I agree that even my citation conflates government censorship -- conducted with legal authority to jail or fine -- with the actions of private institutions to withdraw or expel content or members, etc, -- a power that does not included legal authority to jail or fine. This is corruption of the term "censorship" of the kind I described in my "slovenly 'slang'" paragraph, which you ignored.
ACLU is a political football club with an agenda. So ... not a reliable authority on 'censorship.' (sarcasm)
You might be claiming the Constitution forbids FedGov from censorship, but "somehow" -- loaded with legal authority -- it has become rife with powerful censorship and controls. No other entity possess this legal shotgun. It has become censorship manifest in many ways.
Do you think it should be illegal for Tumblr to "control what others hear, see or think" on its private property?
[mods: is it okay to have a political discussion here?]
