But that would also be censorship...

No. The judge would decide whether it is a threat or not, and the punishment would correspond to that. If it's not a threat, then what is the problem? (See my other comment in this discussion.)
It's still censorship if the state does it, arguably it's more censorship if the state does it. It's even censorship when it serves the public good.
