That may be, but that's not what I'm asking, I'm asking whether they would still be criticized for censorship. I think probably so?
Your point about reddit is an interesting one. You're right that they don't get much grief from lawmakers on the censorship question, but I suspect that has a lot to do with unfamiliarity. They have certainly gotten lots of grief from denizens of the internet for their moderation policies over time.
