When a privately-owned website enforces the TOS to which posters have
explicitly agreed, that’s not censorship.

Does that apply to pay-to-view television channels too? If they purposefully
leave out bits of news is it not censorship?

Every news show leaves out bits of news. Is all news censored?
Every library excludes some books. Is that censorship?

It depends largely on their reasons for doing it. If it is to purposefully bias
the news (eg. render something not-true through omission) then it is censorship.
But as I said it’s not the best analogy.
