No, miners cannot censor transactions on the Bitcoin network.
Transactions are broadcast to the network and confirmed by miners who add them to a block and publish it to the blockchain.
Miners do have the ability to choose which transactions to include in a block, but they cannot censor a specific transaction without risking the integrity of the entire network. The decentralized and open-source nature of Bitcoin makes censorship difficult, as any attempt to censor a transaction would likely be rejected by other participants in the network.
Nice chatGPT answer, too bad it's wrong. Whoever finds a new valid block gets to choose which transactions to include, even if it was a single lucky guy who was solo-mining with a thumbstick miner

Sorry @Relight_Motion, an off-topic question: your statement that the answer comes from chatgpt is a hypothesis or did you check that somehow? If so, I would be curious to know how.

It was an educated guess, I've interacted with chatGPT quite a lot, especially about Bitcoin and blockchain, so I recognized the style of the answer.
Could still be an authentic human answer, but I seriously doubt it
