That only works if someone can hear it. The last several years of social media have broken that paradigm. The Internet becomes a personalized echo chamber and that "more speech" will never reach you. Unless the listener makes active effort to understand multiple viewpoints, it's a lost cause.
There is speech you don't like, combined with a technical problem, and the conclusion you jump to is censorship? Something is wrong with you. Come up with a better solution.

The antidote to speech is more speech. I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Not sure where you get censorship out of what I wrote. I'm placing the blame on the listener here.
