Yes, unironically. If they don't kick out (i.e. censor) those who don't follow the protocol, then they are not a protocol. Protocols imply rules, and rules imply consequences. If you don't follow the protocol's rules, your message is excluded from the people who are listening via those rules.

I am glad you did not say "it's never censorship if there's consensus on what to censor." Because sometimes a group attains consensus that it should censor one of its members, and very often that's a bad thing.
