The Role of Censorship in Cultural Expression

FAQ About The Role of Censorship in Cultural Expression

Why do governments impose censorship on cultural outputs?

Governments may impose censorship to maintain social harmony, national security, or public morality. By controlling cultural outputs, they try to prevent the spread of information or ideas that may incite unrest, challenge established norms, or threaten their authority. However, this can also lead to suppression of political dissent and limit artistic freedom.
