> preventing a celebrity from using their platform [insert your reason here] is not equivalent to censorship

It definitely sounds equivalent to me, no matter the rationale for doing so.

In many settings professionals can be fired, lose their credentials/licence for giving bad advice or not doing due diligence. Compared to Rogan most of them have much less impact on other people, why should he be held to a lower standard of responsibility/accountability?

That is a false equivalence.
