I haven't got Webster's handy, but the Concise Oxford defines censorship as

   "suppressing whole or parts of books, plays, films, letters, NEWS, etc.
    on the grounds of OBSCENITY, seditiousness, etc." (emphasis mine)

i.e. precisely what you claim above is NOT censorship.

You clearly don't, as you have made obvious to the world.
