Censorship defined:
Originally, [censorship] refers to the Roman state office of the censor [Brill's New Pauly] whose duties included not only administering the population census and assigning property classes, but also jurisdiction "over breaches of private and public morality." [BNP]
Generally, the office, function, or period of a censor.
e.g., of the press: 1855 T. B. Macaulay Hist. Eng. IV. 540 The law which subjected the press to a censorship. [OED]
Etymologically, from Lat. censura (‘examination’, Middle Latin ‘supervision, reprimand’) -- describes the control (preventative or pre-censorship) and/or the suppression (repressive or post-censorship) of written records [Brill's New Pauly]
