Censorship

Censorship is the act of withholding information from a larger audience by a group of people or a single person who has the power to do so. Oftentimes it is done for the protection of 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.

One recent tool in the balance against censorship is the enabling of open editing of websites via a web browser application (commonly referred to as a wiki). This will allow, as an example, for the rest of this article to be censored as a measure to protect the people.
