I think that misses the point entirely given OP posted exactly what they considered the dangers of censorship in their OP...
The disagreement is that censorship can be good at all. Censorship, even with the best of intentions has always been a net negative for a society. And there's no standard for censorship that can withstand simple historical analysis rigor. Censorship is always a powerful group limiting the speech of the populace.
