If it's private you don't want your information everywhere, which hampers censorship resistance.

censorship resistance is not getting something everywhere, it's being able to do something *censorable*, in a way that can't *be censored*
if we have a conversation that we should not have, but no one knows that it ever happened, we resisted censorship, even if the conversation is wiped after the fact. We did something we were not supposed to do, therefore mission complete.
To get a message from person A to person B,
1. Person B needs to know they want to hear from person A
2. There needs to be a channel to achieve this.
With privacy, person B needs to be listening for person A through a communication channel that is inconspicuous to those trying to disrupt communication
Censorship resistance is about person B discovering person A. The communication channel needs to be unstoppable.
