CENSORSHIP Jack Homer Frederick Abreu James Carroll Minsoo Kim

What is censorship? Censorship -- the control of the information and ideas circulated within a society -- has been a hallmark of dictatorships throughout history. In the 20th Century, censorship was achieved through the examination of books, plays, films, television and radio programs, news reports, and other forms of communication for the purpose of altering or suppressing ideas found to be objectionable or offensive. The rationales for censorship have varied, with some censors targeting material deemed to be indecent or obscene; heretical or blasphemous; or seditious or treasonous. Thus, ideas have been suppressed under the guise of protecting three basic social institutions: the family, the church, and the state. Link:

Por_*cough* There are many examples of censorship that have occurred throughout history from a religious aspect such as the Bible’s influence over its readers. The right to exercise one’s freedom of speech has also come into question when censorship is involved. The CDA was voted overwhelmingly into law in 1996, and made it a criminal offense to send "indecent material by the Internet into others computers". The law was attached to the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 and passed by congress on February 1st of the same year. It was signed by President Clinton the following week. On the same day the bill was signed the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit in Philadelphia on the ground that that the statute banned speech protected by the First Amendment and subjected the Internet to restrictions that were out of line with regulations faced by other mediums.

4 Protecting Free Speech Defense against censorship in America and around the world

American Civil Liberties Union ACLU is one of the main American organizations that protect free speech online Formed in 1920 and based in NYC it has made numerous appeals to the Supreme Court in defense of free speech online Some other organizations that fight for online free speech are Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union

Examples of attempts to limit online free speech Congress tried to pass the Communications Decency act Congress tried to pass the Child Online Protection Act The COPA is currently upheld in public libraries

Some places do not protect free speech on the internet Reporters Without Borders Internet censorship ratings. Reporters Without Borders No censorship Some censorship Under surveillance Internet black holes (most heavily censored nations)

12 Censorship Types

 Moral  Military  Political  Religious  Corporate Types of Censorship

 Moral ◦ removal of materials that are obscene or otherwise morally questionable ◦ For example, pornography  Military ◦ the process of keeping military intelligence and tactics confidential and away from the enemy Types of Censorship

 Political ◦ governments hold back information from their citizens ◦ For example, to prevent rebellion  Religious ◦ shun things when the content is not appropriate for certain faith  Corporate ◦ halt the publishing of negative information Types of Censorship

 Censorship is necessary  Censorship should not limit people’s basic rights to know  Censorship used for personal profits cannot be justified Our opinion

 Viacom vs YouTube ◦ By winning lawsuit against Google, ◦ Viacom can get account information on YouTube ◦ Viacom can regulate freedom of expression by suing people who upload copyright products ◦ Viacom censors video on YouTube that criticize their policy Censorship in America
