They didn't censor anything, they chose not to host it.

Parler made choices as a product to host virulent seditionist rhetoric without moderation and are facing the consequences.

If they had structured their product and infrastructure better, and made an attempt to moderate themselves they wouldn't be in this position.

Choosing not to host it because of the content. Of course it is censorship. That people can perhaps publish their opinions somewhere else does not imply that it is not censorship.

They didn't touch their content, they just made a choice as a business not to allow it on their platform.

Free market capitalism's a bitch right?

Not sure what you are going on about. Yes, they can do that. Nobody denies that. Doesn't mean everybody has to like it.
