I hate it when people define dirty words like censorship to only mean censoring "good" things, and censoring bad things is not "censorship" but some other more positive euphamism.

Every single regime that has ever censored anything did it in their mind for the "good" of the people to protect them from negative influences.

And while you are right, languages and communications play with nuances like that. It is all about context.
