It's the difference between confiscating a gunman's murder weapon and banning guns outright. The guns example doesn't really work in this context but if we go with it then both are still forms of censorship. Confiscating the murder weapon is still censorship. You are coming along, taking it and trying to take action to stop someone from doing something you don't want them to do again. You are actively trying to censor them. Yes, they are different but fundamentally it's the same thing.

It's a different form of censorship. Preemptive action vs. post-situation action are also very major and fundamental differences.

To bring up another analogy, it's the difference between preemptively arresting possible terror suspects or arresting them after the crime is committed.
