A censor is someone who approves or denies something BEFORE it can be published.
Definitions:
Censorship - if the authorities prevent illegal content from being published in the first place, through a pre-approval process.
Free press - if you can be held responsible AFTER publishing unlawful material.
In the US and other free nations we have free press - if you publish something unlawful, you can be held accountable for what you did. North Korea, Cuba and other dictatorships practice censorship, which means nothing unlawful ever gets published because it has to be approved BEFORE it's published.
