REASON FOR INTERNET CENSORSHIP
These days the internet is censored to some extent pretty much everywhere. There are several different reasons that the internet might be censored.
The most controversial reason would be the political reason. Censorship in most countries is governed and ruled by politics. Sensitive issues about the politics and which is considered to be private and confidential by them will be censored so it would not cause confusion among the public and would not create bridge among the public . The censorship is usually to limit access to the sites of minority groups or that oppose what the government has told people.
Apart from that censorship is also made to expurgate offensive and x rated content from the public.. Censorship is made due to immoral activity , offensive content, profanity language, unpleasant video are put up on net. Such substances may tarnished public especially kids mind , influencing them to indulge in uncivilized act by implementing act which is against their cultural background and against their countries law. Example, Some countries sites that are seen to promote homosexuality are often censored.
Another reason censorship is made is for security reason. This is done to block sites that belong to terrorist group or extremist. Making sure that delicate issues are not made available to the public.
Another vital reason would be self – censorship. Censorship is mainly done due to personal interest. We may not want to share information out to the public and also to protect family & self. Because revealing information that are sensitive may put us in hot soup.
