It absolutely is censorship when the exclusive owner and distributor of the content refuses to distribute and takes it down. It's the very definition of it.

You might be conflating that with the first amendment and free speech, but that's entirely different.

This is the deal Rogan signed so it's also free market capitalism, but that's not mutually exclusive either.

Censorship by way of market forces is still censorship.

This would probably happen under most economic systems / forms of government. You call it peak capitalism? I call it digital feudalism, and two earls are fighting over perceived digital territory.

In the world of venture capital, unlimited interest-free money supply from central banks and non-profitable companies 'making' billions, there is really no capitalism or free market economy to speak of. This economy is based on speculation, not supply and demand and so the investors (getting most of the free government money) make the rules, not the costumers.
