It’s not censorship if you’re doing it to yourself or with permission. That’s just editing.

It's self-censorship, which is still censorship. I'm doing it specifically because it might upset some people. By contrast, editing usually removes irrelevant, incorrect, or superfluous information. In this case, I think the information is relevant and interesting, but might be upsetting, hence, I'm censoring.

Thank you I respect that you did that

What logic is that? You can compel someone into permission with or without them knowing. That’s sketchy territory.
