Censorship

Many agree that it's necessary. That's not the question. But what should be censored is forever being debated.


Censor, as defined by Webster's:
to examine books, films, or other material and to remove/suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable.

What should be allowed in public school libraries? On prime time television? Where is the line between R and NC-17? When is a 
representation of a nude human being art, and when is it pornography? What should and should not be allowed on the Internet; 
what should filtering software filter out?

Various organizations are created to answer these questions. Some are pro-censorship, such as the Parent's Television Council, and 
some are not, like BooksAtoZ. What follows is a more in-depth look at what each of these two organizations is and is not doing.
