Censorship usually is not associated with filtering true vs. false information. From wikipedia:
Censorship is the suppression or deletion of material, which may be considered objectionable, harmful or sensitive, as determined by a censor.
"Censorship" implies a value judgement, not just filtering out content that is false (although even then, it can be hard to determine what is unquestionably untrue). That's why it's so subjective and difficult.
