The process of ████████ ███████████ to the advantage of █████████ in order to ███████. Potentially used against ██████ and other such forms of ██████. A staple weapon to any functioning regime of █████████.

Violation of the 1st Amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Fuck censorship.

1. What lazy parents use as an excuse to not want to teach their children what is and isn't acceptable to view. Proven to be useless because all it does is make the children even more curious as to why it is censored. 2. What the government uses to keep the dumb masses from finding out the truth about its corruption and incompetence.

Legal vandalization of art.
"The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion." --Henry Steele

1. stopping the [free] [flow] of [art] and ideas.
For those of us in the US we do NOT enjoy the right to free speech (even though it is in the constitution). The supreme court ruled in the [Miller] case that "obscene" materials are not protected under the 1st amendment and can be banned or regulated; translation: regulated censorship is constitutional thanks to a few activist judges who wanted the [government] to impose its morality on us. Basically if the subject or content is sexual in any [way] then whether its obscene or not is up for majority vote; they actually said if the average person would be offended by it and think that it had no artistic value (if you weren't offended by it or thought it was a work of [art] why would you want to ban it in the first place). This is why it is illegal to give porn to minors, because it shows sex even though this should be decided and enforced by the [parents] the [government] is getting involved. Also there's no law against showing violent material to minors, so basically its worse to expose them to consensual sex than murder.
This definition is too long for this mug.
