Censorship

Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are “offensive,” happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others.

Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional.

The control of the information and ideas circulated within a society has been a hallmark of dictatorships throughout history. 

In the 20th Century, censorship was achieved through the examination of books, plays, films, television and radio programs, news reports, and other forms of communication for the purpose of altering or suppressing ideas found to be objectionable or offensive.

The rationales for censorship have varied, with some censors targeting material deemed to be indecent or obscene; heretical or blasphemous; or seditious or treasonous.
