I haven't said that. I said that there isn't always a real world counterpart for virtual things. You can replace "real" with physical. At least you tried to not make the usual car comparison.

No it's not a perfect analogue. To make the cinema comparison work: There is a cinema. You can rent rooms in that cinema. You and your friends go in to talk about stuff. Someone else comes in and "shushes" you instead of going to another room where nobody is in.

Reddit can also kick out people for having the wrong opinion, as they do, as was observed. Banning for the wrong opinion is of course censorship. Banning for specific lingo used by those people is also censorship.

There is difference between banning for wrong opinions and banning for eg. spamming. The line is slim.
