    Well now we are - discussing a much more specific scenario and not just any scenario where someone is seen as wrong by someone else as in the original question.

    Anyway, the owner of any private publishing platform must be allowed to choose what they publish or rules for publishing. If it is “censorship” that publishers cannot be forced by any and all to publish illegal content then yeah, that form of “censorship” is entirely justifiable.

      Yeah, but once the power is there it will be used for less legit reasons, like removing “saying nice stuff about the wrong politician”.

        I’d call that crossing the line.

        Censoring this may not be the same as censoring that. We might all be fine with censoring this, but censoring that is crossing the line. It doesn’t mean that the first scenario is wrong just because the second is.
