Censorship

http://www.i-heart-god.com/free_family_clip_art.htm

Censorship is the suppression of speech or deletion of communicate materials which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive or inconvenient to the government or media organizations as determined by a censor. Based on Encarta Encyclopedia, "Censorship is the supervision and control of the information and ideas circulated within the society. In modern times, censorship refers to the examination of media including books, periodicals, plays, motion pictures, television and radio programs for the purpose of altering or suppressing parts thought to the offensive. The offensive material may be considered immoral or obscene, heretical or blasphemous, seditious or treasonable, or injurious to the national security". What is your definition of "censorship" ?
