Censorship is far from not limited to government action. I see this misconception a lot, and I believe it comes from Americans misinterpreting their first amendment.

I figured that might come up, but censorship whether govt. or not is seen as "oppression due to opinion".

Over-aggressive TLD spam filtering is just bad logic from infosec employees.
