Would you consider the highly curated experience of the HN front-page to be censorship? Mod actions and anti-drama algos effect your experience here.

I would consider it to be a coherent speech product that HN/YC has just about every right to curate as they see fit to match their commercial goals.

So many people disagree on what censorship is that I prefer to be more precise when possible.

I guess social media is generally not claimed to be a curated experience, whereas on HN the curation is explicitly described with words like “gratifying intellectual curiosity” and the like.
