Suppression:

the act of preventing something from being seen or expressed

The need for one more click is not preventing me from seeing something. Again, this is on Steemit only. On other frontends you don't even need this click, so this is not censorship.

For example, I enjoy listening to Dave Rubin, who is a mild speaking libertarian. When he gives public talks it is common for people of opposing ideologies to sit in the audience and begin making noises with bells or some kind of jingling thing. These people are not preventing Dave Rubin from speaking, but they are trying to diminish or hinder his message by creating distracting noises. That is censorship.

I agree that this is a kind of censorship, but this whole situation is completely different from ours. If someone is making distracting noises so you can't hear a person speaking, is completely different than the need for one additional click to see the information.

It would be the same if you for example just could into another place in the room, where you can hear this guy speaking without any problems. Or when you wouldn't even be able to post on Steem in the first place.
