Moral censorship suppresses information which is deemed to be offensive or damaging to public morality. It is commonly found in films broadcast on television, where scenes involving sex or violence are edited or excised, and instances of swearing are overdubbed with inoffensive words, background noise, or (less frequently) "bleeped out". Hip-hop and rock music albums are often released in two forms, one of which is a "clean" version which has had offensive material edited out.

Religious censorship combines features of political and moral censorship, as it can serve either to protect a ruling power, or to protect the public from coming into contact with heresies. One example of religious censorship is the Catholic Church's reaction to Galileo's heliocentric model of the solar system, which was thought at the time to be contrary to scripture.
