I think it gets a little tricky when you get to comics for young kids. I agree censorship is wrong. The Japanese publisher might be saying "if you want to publish Shonen Jump" you have to print all the titles, including X, Y, and Z". The American publisher is thinking "We can't include this mature title with this all ages title," but the thinking in Japan is different. Children are less sheltered from adult issues.
I hope the tankoubons remedy these issues, but who knows?
