Censorship
Censorship is the practice of inspecting and suppressing writing or performances on a political, moral, or religious basis. Political censorship has always been and continues to be typical for totalitarian regimes. Moral censorship mainly refers to the problem of pornography. A great example of religious censorship is the Vatican’s list of forbidden books [Quinn, p. 70].
Censorship limits access to information, ideas, or books to prevent knowledge or freedom of thought [YourDictionary].
Censorship is the name for the process or idea of hiding things like obscene words or graphic images from an audience. There is also self-censorship, which means refraining from saying particular things.
Censorship blocks something we can read, hear, or see. For example, bleeping when someone speaks on television is censorship [Vocabulary.com].
