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.

stochastic censorship

Blaming one for an unrelated action of another because your opinion.

Making up newspeak like stochastic terrorism, it makes the newspeak term stochastic censorship relevant. Blaming one for an unrelated action of another because your opinion.

Censorshit

the idea that censorship is bullshit....nothing needs to be censored.....if you don't want to watch swearing, violence, or sexual content, DON'T WATCH IT! simple as that.....nobody is making you watch it.....they have disclaimers for a reason....and if you don't want your kids watching that shit, tell your kids what they can and cannot watch.....and if they don't listen to you then you are a bad parent for not teaching your kids to do what you say.

every time i watch tv there's nothing but censorshit everywhere.

that movie sucked because of the censorshit.

Censorship cowboy

Someone who spends much of his time finding new and better ways to help others get around internet censorship or word filters. Often students or people in highly censored countries. Usually the people that believe firmly in freedom of information and free speech.

Kid: Hey, this suxxors, i can't get to youtube at school.
Censorship cowboy: Here, try this. It works every time.
Kid: Thanks man! You rock!

censorship

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

Urban Censorship

(n) a suppression of certain types of definitions without explanation on a supposedly free Internet forum

Sometimes new definitions submitted to this website become ghost posts; this is a form of Urban Censorship. One tends to wonder why a short and simple definition for one-termer was confirmed but never posted while a huge definition for Operation Iraqi Freedom that rambles on an on for several pages is allowed to remain.

censorship

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.
