Can you explain how an opt-out mechanism (by which I mean, certain content can be hidden if an easily-offended reader (a) has JavaScript enabled and (b) checks a preference or clicks a "hide" button) is "censorship"?

The difficulty is how things get tagged in the first place; you would need to have a reliable source that says that it is a particular sort of content. It's not enough for an editor to say it.
