Media censorship refers to the suppression or restriction of information and content in various forms of media, including news, television, and the internet. Governments, organizations, or other authorities may impose censorship to control the narrative, protect national security, or prevent the spread of harmful or sensitive information. This can lead to limited access to diverse viewpoints and a lack of transparency. Censorship can take many forms, such as banning certain books, blocking websites, or regulating broadcasts. It often raises concerns about freedom of speech and the public's right to know. In some cases, media censorship can lead to protests and debates about the balance between security and individual rights, as seen in discussions surrounding freedom of expression and human rights.
