Press Censorship

Press censorship is the control or suppression of information in the media by a government or authority. It involves monitoring, editing, or banning content to shape public perception or prevent certain ideas from spreading. Censorship can be used to maintain political stability, protect national security, or uphold moral standards. However, it can also limit free speech and prevent the public from accessing full, honest information. While it may serve specific purposes, excessive censorship can undermine transparency and democratic principles by restricting open discussion and accountability.
