only the wiki entry you quote has this to say about Web 3.0:

On the other hand, the term Semantic Web (sometimes referred to as Web 3.0) was coined by Berners-Lee to refer to a web of content where the meaning can be processed by machines.

Dapps advocates decided to squat the “Web 3.0” name at some point without asking any web people AFAIK. Indeed the technology usually isn’t even HTTP/WWW-based, so calling it Web x.y is kind of a head scratcher. An uncharitable take is to piggyback on an actually successful technology (despite not having much semblance) to lend themselves legitimacy.

A sibling comment claims that it’s Web3, not Web 3.0 (as if it’s meaningfully different), but “Web 3.0” has definitely been used a lot by dapp advocates; evidence abound. Maybe they have since decided that “Web 3.0” is a tad too ridiculous and is now rallying under the “Web3” banner instead. I wouldn’t know.

Web3 (not Web 3.0) is how browsers communicate with the data that is not hosted on a web server, but rather on a decentralized blockchain. This means that these things are resistant to censorship.
