I think the word "censorship" applies here.

He wouldn't be reinstated if it was censorship. The government didn't back down, just Disney did. This just shows Disney wasn't forced to remove him as some thought, they cancelled his show willingly so could take it back.
The gov openly pressured Disney to drop him -- that's what censorship is.

The fact that Disney reversed course (based on whatever internal calculations we don't know) doesn't mean it wasn't censorship to begin with.
