An editorial process isn't censorship. All media outlets have editors


Facebook and google are huge, powerful media outlets (whether they want to admit it or not). It makes sense for them to have editors to filter out crap they don't want associated with their site. And any editorial process can be questioned (NBC over its Weinstein killing, Las Vegas paper over its Wynn story). But allowing anyone to post anything has clearly created a recipe for disaster. Even Wikipedia had to implement controls to stop anyone from editing anything at anytime. I wouldn't call that censorship.
