Censorship in the UK

Censorship in the UK refers to the control or suppression of information, ideas, or content deemed objectionable or harmful. This can occur in various forms, such as restrictions on media, literature, and online content. The UK law allows censorship to protect individuals from harmful material, prevent hate speech, and safeguard national security. Regulatory bodies, like Ofcom, oversee broadcasting content, ensuring it adheres to standards. While censorship aims to protect society, it often raises debates about freedom of expression and the balance between safeguarding the public and allowing diverse viewpoints.
