Popular Article: Censorship

Book burning in 1933 in Berlin, Germany

Censorship is the editing, removing, or otherwise changing speech and other forms of human expression. In some cases, it is exercised by governing bodies but it is always and continuously carried out by the mass media. It most formally involves the suppression of ideas by criminalizing or regulating expression. What is censored may range from specific words to entire concepts. The most common reasons for censoring ("omitting") information are the particular interests of the distribution companies of news and entertainment, their owners, and their commercial and political connections.
