If you allow everything that isn't illegal, you're actively supporting Nazis, anti-Semitism, racism, anti-LGBTQI content which makes you an accessory.

It's censorship if a government suppresses information, if a company decides not to business with you, it's contract law.

This isn't that difficult to grasp.

I think I would disagree with your definition of censorship. If almost all entities in a given sphere, be it web hosting or media, decided they would absolutely not publish or host anything related to a particular topic or form of content, it seems accurate to term that censorship. The fact that it isn't done by the government doesn't mean that particular content isn't functionally suppressed.
