"Pro-censorship" is such a ridiculous, extremist term. You can't just pretend everyone in the world falls into either a "for" or "against" censorship group. Everybody (well, 99.99%, maybe) accepts that some censorship is necessary, but that not everything should be censored.

Moderation is when pornography is banned from r/programming. Censorship is when pornography is banned from r/pornography.

Most pro-censorship voices motte-and-bailey the latter by conflating it with the former.
