Difference between "expurgation" and "censorship"
As a language would not make two different words for one phenomenon, there must be a difference between expurgating something and censoring it, even a slight, subtle one. So which one is more appropriate in which context?

The difference between expurgate and censor is that expurgate is to edit out rude, incorrect, offensive, useless, or otherwise undesirable information from a book, cd or other publication. To censor is to review in order to remove objectionable content from correspondence or public media, either by legal criteria or with discretionary powers.
