 I think of it as a library
Reporting is applying a label/category
Books in libraries are categorized
Ppl not interested in science will not visit the science section
That doesn't mean that categorizing books as science is censorship
Censorship would be if the library were forbidden from holding science books
It is up to nostr users how they treat reported content
Some nostr users report their own content for nudity or profanity
Some nostr users may *prefer* reported content -
it would be trivial to write nostr clients and relays  that specialize in reported content
E.g. a nostr nsfw app
Web of Trust greatly mitigates false reports
And it's impossible for relays to effectively censor across the network
The most they are likely to do is scan content reported as illegal and remove if it is
