Censorship takes several forms including the suppression of speech, political views, print media, and the internet. In the US, censorship has a long history dating back to the late 18th century. The FCC regulates content on public airwaves, censoring songs between 6am-10pm when children are likely listening. However, censorship methods are not always effective and can be inconsistently applied. Political censorship involves governments concealing or distorting information to control the political views of its citizens. Internet censorship also aims to control the flow of information and is commonly practiced by authoritarian regimes. Censorship in schools centers around protecting children from sensitive topics but may prevent their development and understanding of real world issues.
Censorship aims to protect children and vulnerable groups by restricting certain content but can also limit information and opinions. The essay discusses censorship in different contexts. Censorship of inappropriate internet content and media is generally supported to shield children, but banning books for adults is not agreed with. Censorship in education that only teaches one view is also problematic. Overall censorship is a complex issue with arguments on both sides.
Censorship is a complex issue with reasonable arguments on both sides. While censorship can protect young children from explicit materials, it may also infringe on individuals' human rights. Different forms of media like films, books, and video games may need to be censored to different degrees due to their different impacts. For example, films and video games that depict violence in a realistic way could influence behavior more than written words alone. Overall, there is no clear consensus on whether and how heavily different forms of media should be censored.
The document discusses censorship, including its definition, common subjects that are censored, and different methods of censorship. Censorship involves suppressing or altering publications, media, art, or other forms of expression that are considered unacceptable or offensive. Common subjects of censorship relate to religion, politics, sex, or material deemed subversive, blasphemous, heretical, obscene, or pornographic. Censorship can occur before or after publication through mechanisms like licensing, prior review, banning, burning, fining, or imprisonment. Places where censorship may take place include public libraries, museums, schools, and on the internet.
Internet censorship involves controlling or suppressing access to information online and raises similar legal issues to offline censorship. A video teaching anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism was published on YouTube by a known terrorist organization, leading Google to remove terrorist videos from the platform. YouTube users can now flag videos containing pornography, violence, illegal acts, or offensive racial/ethnic content. Strict censorship in North Korea has limited websites to only around 30, demonstrating how censorship could prevent online exploitation but also raising debates around its importance.
Censorship refers to the supervision and control of information circulated within a society through examining various media like books, films, news reports etc. and altering or suppressing parts deemed objectionable.
Speech, art, books, films, plays, photography, television programs, radio programs, the internet and news reports are common targets of censorship. Censorship can be carried out by governments, churches and other groups. It is used to avoid offensive content but can also hide real information from the public, like in the Soviet Union.

An iterative update on my ongoing work on revenge porn and how to deal with it. This talk analyses recent legislation and Google's recent decision to extend the "right to be forgotten" to revenge porn and argues both forgiving (restorative justice) and forgetting (RTBF) may be more useful remedies than the crimainal law alone for victims.
Freedom of expression on the internet enables widespread sharing of information but also enables illegal and unethical activities if used improperly. Key issues around freedom of expression online include controlling access to information, especially for children; anonymity which allows anonymous speech but is also used for illegal acts; defamation which restricts untrue statements that harm others; and pornography which some view as protected speech while others see it as harmful if accessible to children. Responsible use of new communication technologies requires consideration of these complex issues around ethics, law, and society.
The document discusses the arguments for and against censorship. It notes that censorship is defined as the suppression of speech or communication deemed objectionable by a controlling body. While censorship may protect children and society from harmful content, it can also give certain groups like government or religion too much power over what information is available and foster dictatorships. The document concludes that censorship should be limited and power over it passed to a non-government body intended only to protect society rather than any political agenda.
Censorship of media is debated, as it aims to protect audiences but can restrict freedom. Television censorship focuses on protecting children from adult content by enforcing watersheds after 9PM. Breaching watershed rules can result in fines. Advertising is also regulated to prevent exploiting children's susceptibility. Books are sometimes censored for reasons like preventing crime inspiration, though banning books rarely stops determined criminals and restricts ideas. Internet censorship is controversial as it can justifyably block pornography or terrorism but also oppressively limit political ideas or free speech. Overall censorship aims to protect but must avoid going too far in restricting freedoms.

It provides examples of Supreme Court cases that have established limits and tests for these freedoms while still protecting unpopular political expression.
The document discusses the complex issue of censorship and whether it should exist. It acknowledges that censorship is meant to suppress or alter media content that may cause offense, but notes that what qualifies as offensive is unclear. The document weighs the arguments for and against censorship, examining how it is applied differently based on the media platform and considering cases where content has been censored from television shows, books, and advertising due to being deemed objectionable or a bad influence on children. It concludes that finding a balance with some degree of censorship is important, as extremes of too much or too little censorship can both be problematic for a population with varying views.

Censorship blocks certain content from being seen or heard. It aims to protect audiences, especially children, from obscene, harmful, or offensive material. However, censorship also limits freedom of expression and access to information. While it may protect some groups, censorship can be misused and curb creativity. Ultimately, many argue parents, not governments, should decide what content is appropriate for children. A balance must be found between protection and freedom.
This document discusses censorship and whether it is a good or bad idea. It provides examples of how censorship is used to protect children and religious views by restricting inappropriate content.

Editor's Notes
Censorship- the suppression of speech or deletion of communicative material which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the government or media organizations as determined by a censor.
a bill signed in 1798 by John Adams requiring all those who spoke out against the government to back up their statements in court or else be punished criminally. 1873-In 1872, feminist Victoria Woodhull published an account of an affair between a celebrity evangelical minister and one of his parishioners. Comstock, who despised feminists, requested a copy of the book under a fake name, then reported Woodhull and had her arrested on obscenity charges. He soon became head of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, where he successfully campaigned for a 1873 federal obscenity law, commonly referred to as the Comstock Act, that allowed warrantless searches of the mail for "obscene" materials. Comstock later boasted that during his career as censor, his work led to the suicides of 15 alleged "smut-peddlers." 1930- The Hays Code was never enforced by the government--it was voluntarily agreed upon by film distributors--but the threat of government censorship made it necessary. The U.S. Supreme Court had already ruled in Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio (1915) that movies were not protected by the First Amendment, and some foreign films had been seized on obscenity charges. The film industry adopted the Code as a means of avoiding outright federal censorship. The Code, which regulated the industry from 1930 until 1968, banned what you might expect it to ban--violence, sex, profanity--but also prohibited portrayals of interracial or same-sex relationships, as well as any content that was deemed anti-religious or anti-Christian. 1954- Like the Hays Code, the Comics Code Authority is a voluntary industry standard. Because comics are still primarily read by children, and because it has historically been less binding on retailers than the Hays Code was on distributors, the CCA is less dangerous than its film counterpart. This may be why it is still in use today, though most comic book publishers ignore it and no longer submit material for CCA approval. The driving force behind the CCA was the fear that violent, dirty, or otherwise questionable comics might turn children into juvenile delinquents--the central thesis of Frederic Wertham's 1954 bestseller Seduction of the Innocent (which also argued, less credibly, that the Batman-Robin relationship might turn children gay). 1971- The massive military study titled United States-Vietnam Relations, 1945-1967: A Study Prepared by the Department of Defense , later known as the Pentagon Papers, was supposed to be classified. But when excerpts of the document were leaked to the New York Times in 1971, which published them, all hell broke loose--with President Richard Nixon threatening to have journalists indicted for treason, and federal prosecutors attempting to block further publication. (They had reason to do so; the documents revealed that U.S. leaders had--among other things--specifically taken measures to prolong and escalate the unpopular war.) In June 1971, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Times could legally publish the Papers. 1996- The Communications Decency Act of 1996 mandated a federal prison sentence of up to two years for anyone who...uses any interactive computer service to display in a manner available to a person under 18 years of age, any comment, request, suggestion, proposal, image, or other communication that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards, sexual or excretory activities or organs.The Supreme Court mercifully struck the Act down in ACLU v. Reno (1997), but the concept of the bill was revived with the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) of 1998, which criminalized any content deemed "harmful to minors." Courts immediately blocked COPA, which was formally struck down in 2009. 2004- During the live-broadcast Super Bowl halftime show on February 1st, 2004, Janet Jackson's right breast was exposed (sort of) and the FCC responded to an organized campaign by enforcing indecency standards more aggressively than it ever had before. Soon every expletive uttered at an awards show, every bit of nudity (even pixellated nudity) on reality television, and every other potentially offensive act became a possible target of FCC scrutiny. But the FCC has gotten more relaxed over the past five years, and under the Obama administration is likely to become more so still. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court will review the original Janet Jackson "wardobe malfunction" fine--and with it the FCC's indecency standards--later in 2009.
The ruling body for regulating entertainment in the United States is the Federal Communications Commission or FCC. This all-powerful body was designed to regulate exactly what is heard on the radio, seen on TV and generally most forms of public communication. While the commission is not supposed to infringe upon First Amendment rights, it can censor based on indecent or obscene material. The radio is one of the FCC’s main areas of interest due to the growing popularity of songs which include often profane lyrics. From the times of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. the FCC is able to regulate the radio and allow only edited songs, as they deem this time period as a time where children are part of the audience. But how necessary or even effective is this? For instance, in singer Jeremih’s song Birthday Sex he used many very clear phrases about sex and pleasuring women yet the only word changed on the edited version is sex. The song is instead Birthday Texts. Texts sounds just like sex you might say, or also the fact that sex as a word is much more tame than the FCC approved phrase of “g-spot.” Another unusual trend in censorship is censoring only the word “god” in the phrase “god damn.” If using the Lord’s name in vain is bad, shouldn’t the use of a swear word before be censored also? The FCC’s methods are unusual and deemed criminal by some, but they have had a chilling effect in keeping down the number of cases of indecency in media by issuing large fines. According to their website they handed down an excess of “8 million dollars in fines in 2004” which covered only 12 cases. Now that’s scare tactics. Also, The FCC has similar power to the governing bodies of the US, such as the Senate or House of Representatives. But, unlike those bodies the FCC board is not
Political censorship exists when a government attempts to conceal, distort, or falsify information that its citizens receive by suppressing or crowding out political news that the public might receive through news outlets. In the absence of unflattering but objective information, people will be unable to dissent with the government or political party in charge. It is also the suppression of views that are contrary to those of the government in power. The government often has the power of the army and the secret police , to enforce the compliance of journalists with the will of the government to extol the story that the government wants people to believe, at times even with bribery, ruin of careers, imprisonment, and even assassination. This type of censorship can be used to manipulate the political ideals and views of the population. Journalists are often victims of political censorship as they often attempt to tell the story as it is, often to the detriment of the government.
Internet censorship is control or suppression of the publishing or accessing of information on the Internet . All The People's Republic of China , which continues Communist rule in politics, if not in the controlled economy, employs some 30,000 'Internet police' to monitor the internet and popular search engines such as Google and Yahoo . Google is actually shutting down operations in China because of attempts by the government to hack their system. Many Middle Eastern/African countries are beginning to use Internet Censorship to control what their people look at or learn on the Internet. This is often an extended form of political censorship.
Parents and educators fear that their children will be subjected to material they are not prepared for when it comes to reading literature in school. They fear premature exposure to sex, drugs, profanity, or other obscene situations. Prevents children from developing coping mechanisms and doesn’t allow them to be exposed to real world situations. Many books have been banned for vulgar or objectionable diction, not to mention some that have been banned for using the Lord’s name in vain. Students who read books that contain none of these types of controversial words are bound to encounter them elsewhere and schools are robbing students of the experience of knowing how to handle these occurrences in speech or literature. The most widely accepted type of censorship is censoring material that does not just present an idea but instead attempts to sway to an idea. Example- Hitler’s Mein Kampf
In California, school officials have changed textbooks regulations to keep offensive material from getting into textbooks. Historical references, images and phrases have all been either suppressed or changed in order to provide a more “politically correct” learning environment. Some of the changes include: Not referring to the “Founding Fathers” as anything but “the Framers” to avoid being sexist, not depicting unhealthy foods such as hot dogs, sodas or cake, Mount Rushmore can no longer appear in textbooks because Native Americans find it offensive, and even yachts are banned for being an elitist symbol. These lawmakers have taken censorship to a completely new level. This new level is characterized by making an “art form of being offended,” says Rev. Jerry Falwell of WorldDailyNews.net. Unless we as a society set clear limits on censorship now, the epidemic of over-censorship will soon control all of us. If every person who gets offended is allowed to dictate what is censored; our country will soon grow out of control.
