Censorship is normally used to mean a refusal to include something on the basis of content, not on the basis of form or external characteristics. Not including a picture because it does not have a free license is not censorship, not including it because it's of poor quality is not censorship, not including it because of what it shows is censorship. NOT CENSORED means in the image context that there is no image that we reject because of what it portrays.

You can tag a goat "a very special sort of chicken," but people will see through that.
Well, it is a form of censorship, but just removing someone's private social security number is a form of censorship. The no censorship olicy isn't any mor eabsolute than any other policy, and never has been.
Heck, removing an image that's fair use under law but not under policy is a form of censorship.
