Update: Censorship and Comparisons

A thought occurred to me in the middle of the night:

Many made a big deal over the fact that Linda Ronstadt, Whoopi Goldberg and other celebrity types were being 'censored' for their opinions.  But, given that true censorship is when the government can force, coerce or limit what you say due to its abilities to impose civil or criminal penalties, it wasn't really censorship; what was actually happening was that individuals were using their own rights to freedom of expression to express the fact that they disapproved of the statements made.

What happened to Mark Pasquale was true censorship.  The government used its ability to impose penalties to try to limit his freedom of expression with respect to political speech.

Why isn't there the same level of outrage?
