Censorship is the suppression or prohibition of speech, public communication, or other information that may be considered objectionable, harmful, or sensitive. It can occur in various forms, including government regulation, self-censorship by individuals, or corporate control over media content. The goal of censorship is often to maintain social order, protect national security, or uphold moral standards. In the digital age, censorship has taken on new dimensions, particularly with the rise of the internet. Governments and organizations may block websites, filter content, or monitor online activities to control the flow of information. This raises important questions about the balance between security and the right to free expression, as well as the implications for democracy and individual rights.
