Censoring is controlled by USERS (block, liberally) and by RELAYS (who can ban npubs).
The censorship resistant aspect takes place at Relay level - so long as ONE Relay accepts your posts, you can be seen by those who subscribe to that Relay.
Right now, Relays don't censor, because no one is willing to pay them to.
But nothing stops you offering, let's call it "Disney" Relay or "Church" Relay, and then actively monitoring it, and banning people who break the rules, and thus offering a form of walled garden for like minded people willing to pay you $1-$5pm ish to be part of your Relay (and, probably, no others, or other similar).
