I would be wary of throwing the word censorship around. This is nothing of the sort. Instapaper deciding not to interact with a particular website (whether foolishly, in this case, or maliciously) is hardly censorship. At worst it is simply sticking your tongue out in the general direction of someone you dislike.

Censorship may carry ominous tones, but censorship is merely the practice of an overseer examining material and suppressing objectionable content. There are varying levels, obviously. I am not trying to associate Instapaper with oppressive governments. But Instapaper did temporarily censor 9to5Mac.
