It's an important distinction though. One is legally sanctioned censorship by proxy of a defecto monopoly. The other is government enforced.

One has a penalty of shutting you up, the other of shutting you up, fining you, and or jailing you.

They shouldn't be conflated as the same type of censorship.

Nobody here is under the impression that youtube is threatening people with imprisonment. So pointing out the distinction is tiring and pedantic.
