The article does not argue that social media should not be able control the content on their platforms. The argument presented is that if people want to get out from under that control, they should start their own blogs. By and large, I would imagine the author of the piece would agree with your stance. The approaches toward the subject are simply different.

And, yes, this is absolutely censorship.

Both the government and private entities can engage in censorship. When we delete a comment here on the Tavern, it is 100% censorship. Maybe the word itself brings out negative feelings that we generally associate with unlawful, government censorship. However, the term applies beyond the scope of the government.
