The Intercept did not publish his article because it said he needed to support his claims with evidence. But he had a "contractual right of editorial freedom." So, because of an editorial disagreement, Greenwald's article was not published. Or, as Greenwald stated, it was "suppressed" which is a form of censorship as you defined it--"the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security."
Bob Mueller feels the same way

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
