How on earth is it censorship?  No information is removed from the article.

If information is there, but someone choses not to read it, as they
want to "be suprised" by the piece of fiction or film or whatever,
that is them using their own judgement.  Not anyone imposing
censorship on them from outside.

All the Spoilers warnings are is a warning flag.  Calling them
censorship is callous abuse of the english language.
