That qualification is not necessary to the concept of censorship.

If the suppressed speech is not objectionable, what would you call it?

Of course it is. Even accepting your overly narrow definition of censorship, there are folks who not only think hate speech is acceptable, but is actually true. Who decides?

If your best argument is "shut up", you're not going to be very convincing.
