    Moderation includes reviewing content and sources for quality and safety, while censorship aims to control or manipulate a narrative. (general words taken from this page)

    Ehh that sounds like “I’m not punishing I’m disciplining” wordplay.

    The wikipedia article on censorship lists a lot of forms of what we consider just plain moderation, like banning hate speech or harmful content:

    It’s not just the manipulation of a political narrative or the malicious suppression of opinions. Sometimes censorship is good.
