Learners sometimes treat "censure" like the more common verb "censor" and try to use it with objects like "books" or "films" (e.g., *"The government censured the movie"* when they mean it removed scenes; that is "censored," not "censured"). With "censure," the object is typically a person or group, not a piece of content.
