No, this is censorship at work. Call it what it is.

I disagree. This is the government deciding what the government will or won't take a position on.

Censorship was having federal government employees scream and yell at facebook content moderation teams to remove social media posts.

To you "screaming and yelling" at a private company that still retains agency over it's content moderation is government censorship, but the government's direct censoring of information is not? Partisan politics has a neat way of twisting one's brain up like a pretzel.
