Deciding not to provide a platform for any particular view is not censorship. Also, hate speech specifically calling for violence is not protected speech.

Yes, it is, for the most part. Per Brandenburg v. Ohio,

"The constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."

Actually yes, that is censorship, by definition. It may not be illegal censorship, but it’s still censorship.
