Heaven forbid that I defend the Puritan views of Apple, but calling it "censorship" strikes me as inadequate. If you want to break out of Jobs' morality, you just don't use the iThing. You have the choice to do so, unlike with the other censors, the real, ultimate ones.
BTW, even if it was considered "censorship", people wouldn't care either. The only ones who care about censorship are those who want to enforce it where it is absent. I'm not only talking about direct censoring (chopping off content), but about indirect forms of censoring like age rating, which are the most devious and effective ways to steal a creator's opinion ever made. And those kind of thing are tolerated and promoted by the real, ultimate censors: the governments.
