(A little semantic aside: Apple cannot censor. Governments can, companies cannot. If we broaden the definition of censorship to include companies Apple already censors. Their system is a picture perfect example of censorship, you could use it as an example to explain censorship to school kids – but so are newspapers. This all doesn’t really matter because the word censorship doesn’t have some sort of magic properties. Something can be just as despicable as some activities described by the word censorship even if the usual definition of censorship doesn’t include it. Something can also be a perfectly reasonable activity even if the usual definition of censorship does include it.)
