I don't see why we can't just call it "censorship" no matter what the reason.

If it makes you uncomfortable to call it "censorship" when blocking Nazi propaganda or whatever, well, good. Discomfort is a sign that you're thinking.

I am fine with the term 'censorship', but we should discuss: where does it start, where does it end? What kind of censorship is allowed, and what is not allowed?

That kind of discussion could benefit from some facts to discuss. For example, the list of sites being blocked. Unfortunately, the German government is trying to keep them secret, which hinders the discussion. Nicht wahr?
