The word "censorship" has a lot of moral baggage, and using it here obscures more than it clarifies. Not all limits on speech are censorship. For instance, it's not "censorship" to insist everyone speak in turn, and to tell someone who's continuously shouting their opinion over others to shut up and let others speak. That scenario is very similar to putting limits on how much someone or some group can "pay for expression."
