Yes it is.

You provided a counter-example that disproves your claim in the next sentence. I'm just flabbergasted.

Blocking a propaganda outlet by a hostile foreign government is not censorship and certainly not "general censorship that is normalised."

If you know that a foreign actor intentionally tries to undermine your government you honestly think the right course of action is to just relax and let it happen? Absurd.

Europe has seen it's share of dictators and knows that a democracy needs to also protect itself.
