'The fight against censorship is open and dangerous, therefore heroic, while the battle against self-censorship is anonymous, lonely and unwitnessed, and it makes its subject feel humiliated'
In: Global issues
The issue of censorship remains prevalent in society, taking on many different forms - from suppressing individuals' rights to speak freely and read what they choose to curtailing the independence of the media.

What is censorship? Who is qualified to act as a censor and what right has he to prevent his fellow-citizens from receiving information, reading certain books or seeing certain films? What is wrong with the Official Secrets Act, and what are the limits of justified government secrecy? On the other hand, has the public a right to be protected against' offensive' matter which might otherwise be thrust upon it; and if so, should it be the private citizen who has to take legal action, as opposed to official intervention? The problems of privacy and confidentiality … the rights of the citizen in a democratic society … what are the rights of citizens in Third World countries with grave problems of poverty, political instability, racial conflict, and corruption … These and similar questions on a highly controversial subject are dealt with here by two members of our Editorial Board. Asked by Index to discuss censorship and to put their often divergent views, Stuart Hampshire, philosopher, critic, and Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, and the distinguished lawyer, Louis Blom-Cooper, QC, well known for his involvement in civil rights cases and his interest in South Africa, met in the peaceful atmosphere of the College to record a discussion, of which this is an edited version which we hope will provide food for thought and argument.

Ever since the Bill of Rights became the cornerstone on which individual Americans' rights and liberties rest, the practical realities of honoring the grand principles of the First Amendment have been hotly contested, and none more so than freedom of expression. From governmental limits on robust, even vicious, colonial- and Federal-era newspaper attacks to the USA PATRIOT Act to efforts to rein in the vast and anarchic Internet, the First Amendment protection of free expression has been virtually under siege by various forms of censorship, some clearly pernicious and others evidently benign

"Censorship is a complicated topic, but it's one that affects young people's lives. Debates about banning books and other kinds of censorship, especially what children should and should not have access to, continue to happen today. Readers are given the tools to better understand what censorship is-both in the United States and in other countries-in order to develop an informed opinion about this timely topic. The accessible text is paired with eye-catching fact boxes and full-color photographs. In addition, graphic organizers are included, such as a list of ways readers can get more involved with this issue"--
In this digital age, where we are in a free and democratic society, we have a long history of literary censorship. In an age of unparalleled freedom and free exchange of ideas, free speech faces a grave threat from intolerant religious and cultural groups Censorship in the 20th and 21st century is not as it was practiced in middle-ages imposed by the state machinery, but it is more of a systematic silencing. The present paper discusses the need for artistic freedom, how the artist/ writer must be free to create his own creative world without being bothered by the social norms and standards.
