Under this definition - or any other definition based on consent - even blocking abusive and violent material (from revenge porn to CSAM) would be considered censorship. So I don't think you can expect everyone to agree on this approach. Same for this:

If an employer blocks access to Facebook from the office to prevent employees from wasting their paid time, I don't see how that could be considered an attack on human rights.

In any case, I don't think that the purpose of the draft should be to define what censorship is. I was rather suggesting that we document the disagreements so that there can be consensus on the draft and no one feels offended by it. If on the other hand it is not meant to be a consensus document, then there could perhaps be another non-consensus draft documenting the alternative views; this could also be a valid approach.
