>: to examine in order to suppress (see SUPPRESS sense 2) or delete anything considered objectionable

That doesn't apply? The common definition of censor is not exclusive to government.

Even if we use the definition in sense 2 (and I definitely don't think we should) enforcing a contract is not censorship. As far as I am aware, Marjorie Taylor Green was over the age of majority and of sound mind and body - and therefore fully capable of agreeing to the terms of a written agreement - when she agreed to the Twitter terms of service.
