If a religious group didn't like a newspaper and they went out and took all the prints and covered up certain words and removed certain stories and put the papers back on the rack...that wouldn't be censorship?

Where in there does it say its a government act?

Strawman. Once again, this is a private transaction between two willing parties. No one is forcing their views upon anyone.
