Censorship意思
"Censorship" 是一個英文辭彙，源自拉丁文的「censere」，意為「評價」。在現代語境中，它通常指的是對言論、出版、 art, 或 other forms of expression 的審查和限制，以控制公眾可以獲取的信息或觀點。
Censorship can take many forms, including:
-
Pre-publication censorship: This is when content is reviewed before it is made available to the public, and potentially altered or suppressed if it does not meet certain criteria set by the censor.
-
Post-publication censorship: This occurs when content that has already been made public is removed or restricted, often due to legal issues or government pressure.
-
Self-censorship: This is when individuals or organizations choose to censor themselves, often out of fear of legal repercussions, social stigma, or government retribution.
-
Media censorship: This includes the suppression of news stories, the editing of content in newspapers, magazines, and broadcast media, and the blocking of websites or social media posts.
-
Artistic censorship: This can involve the banning of books, plays, films, or other works of art that are deemed offensive, blasphemous, or politically sensitive.
Censorship can be imposed by governments, private organizations, or even individuals, and it can be motivated by a variety of factors, such as protecting national security, maintaining public morality, or protecting individual privacy. However, it is often criticized as a violation of freedom of speech and expression, and as a tool used to suppress dissent, manipulate public opinion, and maintain political or social control.
