I actually think that is technically censorship. Not just soft censorship, but censorship. Like I said, there's no such thing as a censorship-free platform.

The best we can do is:

1. Ensure the platform is censorship resistant (public blockchain where all data can be accessed)
2. Teach people to use clients which they control, so that they can actively resist censorship
3. Encourage an anti-censorship culture, where attempts to censor and justifications for them are frowned upon and seen as shameful.

I think we are making good progress on all three of these on Steem.
