Conspire - To join or act together; combine

Censor - prohibit or restrict the use of something

Yeah, they conspired to censor.

Come on.

Verb (with object) > to agree together, especially secretly, to do something wrong, evil, or illegal.

verb (without object) > to plot (something wrong, evil, or illegal).

We all know that "conspire" has connotations beyond just to "join or act together", otherwise there would be no difference between "coporate" and "conspire".

The main difference between my definition and yours is the emotion underlying the interpretation. The base definition is the same.
