Censorship is the act of withholding information from the public by the state. Oftentimes it is done under the auspices of protecting the people, or to keep the group of people from knowing something bad about the empowered people. A portion of the liberal community is opposed to censorship, with the belief that it is unfair to those who are being withheld from. Since the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, the state violates the Constitution when it censors people.
