Not promoting something is different than suppressing it.

Censorship is active suppression.

If Google was using AI to prevent independent people from accessing independent websites that would be censorship.

Censorship is something that is done not simply the lack of something being done.

They literally change the algo to exclude smaller sites. That's active suppression. Promoting would be putting them on top of the "neutral" search results like they do for ads.

By that definition is OpenAI also censoring small websites? What about Washington Post, is it censoring small websites? Because I sure can't see them in any of those places.
