anyone know any good reasons why censorship is not good? Need help PLEASE.?

Answer 1

Censorship is never good because it removes freedoms. We can controll the receiving end ( you and me) and the transmitting end (any media) should never be controlled. We have to be responsible about making good and healthy choices and suffer consequences for not.

I.e I don't want to government controlling what I eat, listen to, watch, etc. However, If I choose poorly I should be responsible for my actions.

Answer 2

Censorship means different things to different people, depending on your political philosophy. Often the same people who holler censorship the loudest will spend the most time trying to block the message of their opposition. Then it will be called protecting the public or preventing hate speech, or whatever. Should absolutely everything the government does be made public? If a conservative newspaper will not print anything favorable about a liberal politician, is that censorship? If you set out to write a book about your extended family, would you delete that episode where your second cousin was caught doing something naughty with a sheep? Censorship? How about a story of your own life? How much would you leave out? How about someone with nutty ideas who is ignored by the media. He's starts hollering censorship because he can't get minutes on the evening news. I would argue that controlling a message of any kind cannot be called censorship. The classic definition of censorship is the government controlling the media by coercian of one degree or another. Smashing printing presses, arresting reporters, burning books. Inherent in censorship is violence or at the least loss of liberty and property. Short of that, what many people call censorship is merely controlling the message. Leaving out the bad stuff and adding the good stuff. Lying. Making it up. Denying the obvious. Governments do it. Public relations outfits do it. Newspapers do it. People on the left and on the right. Recently a whole day shift walked out of a store in Florida. I read one small article about it, then nothing. Did the PR firm that represents Walmart get on the phone and start calling around threatening media outlets that if you print this story we'll pull our advertising accounts, worth millions? Censorship or controlling the message?

Answer 3

Censorship limits information and in my opinion is wrong.

Information is limited to what the person doing the censoring deems is appropriate.

Answer 4

OMG!

Censorship is one of the most powerful tools of those who want to be dictators.

It is immoral, evil and even when done in the name of "national security" is almost never justified.
