And who is to be the censor? Would you be so complacent if I were the censor, dictating what you can and cannot read, see, and hear?

The censor is the owner of the platform broadcasting the content. If I didn't like your censorship practices then I wouldn't use your platform.

Just to be clear, are you advocating for censorship on a platform (i.e. Facebook) level, or a governmental level as well?

I am not "advocating for censorship", I am "advocating" for the freedom to determine what content is hosted on a computer you own.

A computer owned by the government is a different story since government property is paid for by the tax-payer, so it should not be able to act unilaterally in matters of removing content.
