A prime example that censorship isn't tied to a specific viewpoint or political ideology, but rather to wishing to suppress differing views that challenge one's own position.

Getting uninvited to speak at a college isn't censorship. They don't have to let you speak.

You're correct that they don't have to let you speak. The dilemma lies in creating an echo chamber by "uninviting" anyone who doesn't want to toe the ideological line that is popular at that university.

Part of the value of higher education is being exposed to alternative viewpoints and having one's ideas challenged, which isn't likely to happen if the university decides only one viewpoint is permitted.

I don't have to let you disagree with me. Lets have Atko remove all opinions we don't like.

I hope this demonstrates to you, clearly, why this is a severe social dilemma.
