What do people get banned for?  Is there censorship?

Genuinely asking.  I've heard people complain and leave because of what IS said, but I haven't heard of people leaving because they've had a particular point of view blocked.  There are some extreme banned accounts (violence, CP, etc, which is fine)

I'm not sure whether the issue some people have is because they are reading things they don't like, or because they are unable to put forward their particular views.
