   The editor of a newspaper is not censoring when he edits out cuss
   words from the baseball player who was tagged out at home.

   I ain't saying what the FSF did was a good thing, it just ain't
   censorship.

   I do.

from longman's dictionary of common english:



censor
0100 an official who examines printed matter, films, or (sometimes in war) 
private letters with the power to remove anything offensive or (in war) 
helpful to the enemy
