It is. The supreme court saw that banning nudity in theaters, thus banning specific portion of speech in specific places is not infringing first amendment.

You have your freedom to enjoy nude in your home but not in theaters due to city regulations. That doesn't mean that the city is censoring.

You're confusing "the censorship is legal" with "the censorship is not censorship".

I don't treat control of the speech that does cross the lines of the first amendment censorship because if it's not protected by the first amendment it's a violation of the law thus it's an act of justice.

Similarly we don't call stopping robbery and murder censorship of our acts.

Pornography is pretty clearly not a violation of the law, so why do you consider Gab's censorship of it not to be censorship?
