Censure and censor are not contradictory but rather distinct in meaning. Censure refers to expressing strong disapproval or criticism, often in a formal context, such as in government or organizations. In contrast, censor involves suppressing or restricting content, such as information, speech, or artistic expression, deemed inappropriate or objectionable. While both involve judgment, censure focuses on criticism, whereas censor focuses on control.
