suppression of speech ok...how does flag STOP someone from saying EXACTLY what he wants and NEVER BE DELETED from the Blockchain?
Suppression by dentition (when speaking about dissemination of information) means STOPPING SOMEONE FROM PUBLISHING – that is virtually impossible on the Steem Blockchain (and most of the others too)
Therefore flagging is not a form of censorship if you want to stand by your definition of it...or you wanna change your definition of censorship?
Flagging can hide people's posts and prevent accounts from having any of their future posts been visible, therefore censorship.
