It's only censorship if the Gov't. does it.

"It's only censorship if the Gov't. does it."


Censorship does not require government involvement. However, censorship by the government is what is prohibited by the Constitution.
Non-governmental censorship could also be illegal if it was done through threats or coercion.
It appears that some Democrat Senators have come very close to both censorship proscribed by the Constitution and also made illegal by laws against threats and coercion.
