I don't really consider that censorship. We made it illegal to exploit minors that are unable to make decisions for themselves (both legally and maturely).
Then, at the arbitrary age of 18, we (the US, other countries differ) decided they can participate in, create, and distribute as much self-pornographic material as they want.
The entire LEO world dedicated to combating child pornography revolves around the exploitation of children and how wrong that is.
That's not quite the same as banning ideas, books, etc, simply because some find the words objectionable.
