Government censorship refers to the practice where a government restricts or controls what information is available to the public. This can include limiting access to certain books, websites, or media content that the government deems inappropriate or harmful. The goal is often to maintain social order, protect national security, or uphold cultural values.
Censorship can take various forms, such as internet censorship, where access to specific online content is blocked, or media censorship, where news outlets are prevented from reporting certain stories. Critics argue that censorship can infringe on freedom of speech and limit public discourse, while supporters believe it can protect citizens from harmful information.
