Understanding Internet Computer [ICP]

ICP has been getting some attention lately so I decided to check it out. To my disappointment I didn't really understand what it's trying to do and doing RN even after reading the start of their official docs. I figured I can't be the only one so I'll kindly ask if some ICP experts/stans could explain it in simple terms.

My impression was that they are trying to be a multipurpose decentralized hosting provider kinda like how other projects are for cloud storage but on a bigger scale? But at the same time I've seen ppl talk about how it will somehow 'uncensor' the internet around the globe? IDK
