censoring

Censoring is the practice of suppressing or restricting access to information, ideas, or expressions deemed objectionable, sensitive, or harmful. This can occur in various contexts, such as government control over media, educational institutions limiting topics in curricula, or social media platforms monitoring content. Censorship can aim to protect individuals from harmful material, ensure public safety, or promote certain societal values. However, it can also limit free speech and the public's right to access information, raising ethical questions about the balance between protection and freedom.
