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?

I've said elsewhere that Twitter might be public infrastructure. The distinction is still clear though.

(Me personally, I think it should not be allowed for individuals to own the wealth of small nations, much less command it. But that's a different topic)

Wait, really? Then why do we say 'government censorship' ... that would be redundant.

I don't think that definition works.

Well, I didn't say 'government censorship', and I think it's redundant. Which might be just me, but you can Google "difference moderation censorship" and see that this is a generally accepted view.

So...don't allow individual to command the wealth of small nations and all these problems go away.
