Censorship can never be justified. Do you agree?

Censorship means the use of the state and other legal or official means to restrict speech. It is the suppression of ideas and information that individuals, groups or government officials find it
objectionable or dangerous.

To me, I feel that censorship can never be justified. This is because, the degree of sensorship can only be determined by how consevative an individual, group or government is. The more conservative they are, the more stringent they are on censorship issues; and vice versa.

From research, there are four common types of censorship the first is moral censorship, which is the most common. Moral censorship many result when some people believe they have the right to force their values on others. The second type of censorship is military censorship, which means during a war, battle plans, troop movement schedulable, weapons and other information that could help the enemy. The third type of censorship is political censorship that is used by the government for fear that free expression of criticism and opposing ideas. The government officials believe that criticism to the government or opposing to the war could aid the enemies. The final type of censorship is Religious censorship, which occurs in some nations where the government is dose to one religion or where religious feelings run high.

However, I feel that in this context, media censorship is the main idea. And why is media censorship present? I personally feel that media censorship is taken into action when language issues, sex issues, porn issues and racism issues takes place. Such information are censored so as to prevent the society to be corrupted by the negative opinions of these issues. It serves to protect the overall image of the society.

Censorship is cannot be justified because some censorship may be unfair.

Therefore, overall, I find that censorship cannot be justfied.
