New meaning?

edit

It seems as if the term "censorious" is being increasingly used to indicate that the subject is apt to censor - that is, to redact offending media. For example see this article from The Economist:

https://www.economist.com/business/2020/07/02/why-facebook-is-well-placed-to-weather-an-advertising-boycott

"American tech firms have walked a fine line between Republicans, who accuse them of being too censorious, and Democrats, who want closer moderation."

Would it be possible to update this article in light of the new definition which seems to be increasing in usage?
