You can list 1000 reasons why moderation is different from censorship, but people in power can achieve the same censorship goal with tools provided by moderation.

e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32416424

So as a result they are practically the same thing.

That's why the distinction made by the dictionary definition AFAIK is not made by form, but by actor. Censorship is done by a public authority, moderation is done by a private entity.

In this day and age when not only companies, but individuals command the wealth of small nations, is that truly a clear distinction?
