Well, censorship (in the US, as applied to the first amendment to the 
constitution) has more to do with the government suppressing the speech 
in a public venue.

There's no guarantee, for example, of first amendment rights on a public 
discussion forum hosted in the US.  If the site owner does not permit 
discussion of certain topics, they are certainly within their rights to 
prohibit, for example, the posting of offensive, defamatory, derogatory, 
or offensive materials, and they are free to define the community 
standard by which the membership must abide - even if the membership is 
permitted to be completely anonymous.
