Censorship is a third party forbidding you access to some information. Someone saying I only want grant access to my information/website to some people is at their discretion. That is, if some othortity would tell Coop to restrict access, they would otherwise give, then itt's censorship.
Why would I even say this: Because if you muddle the meanings of censorship you essentially are normalizing censorship. If everything is censorship, than nothing is censorship.
