single word requests - What do you call someone who censors another person?

Only phrase (not a single word) that I can think of is "malicious editor" who does malicious edit. Malicious means




having or showing a desire to cause harm to another person : having or
showing malice




[Merriam Webster]



I found one website which defines malicious edits as




unwarranted removal of content; renaming articles without
justification; purposefully adding incorrect or false information to
articles; editing articles to promote a particular view and/or for
the sake of a personal agenda; editing other Users' comments to
substantially change their meaning; adding nonsense to a page.



Malicious edits also involve: making an offensive Edit Summary in
an attempt to leave a mark that cannot be easily expunged from a
page's history record; uploading or using material in ways that
violate copyright policy after having been warned.




and malicious editor as:




Any User, registered or anonymous, who persists in making edits or
create new pages that contradict the format, style, and standards of
the Lost Girl Wiki will be considered a malicious editor.
