Censorship In Society

Censorship is the suppression of words,images,ideas that are offensive to various individuals.Many people are against censorship;however,it has a purpose and place in society.Words have a more impact on society than actions do.Throughout history words have controlled societies started wars and lead the death of millions.Therefore,words need to be looked at as a tool.Many individuals believe there can be negative effects of censorship,subsequently the positive effects of security of the nation, control of violence,and control of false information demand freedom of speech be limited.

Private and governmental information needs to be limited due to national security.In the law 505.7 disclosure of personal information,It prohibits from disclosing a record from a privacy act system of records to any person pr agency without the prior written consent of the subject of the record.If this law was not in place then disclosure of private information of soldiers would be released because they wouldn't have a consent in who got into their information.This is important

because it allows soldiers to keep secrete information about themselves and others,due to aspects of wartime associates.The privacy act of 1974,states “a code of fair information practice that governs collection,maintenance,use,and dissemination of information about individuals that is maintained in systems of records by federals”.It states you have to sign papers and documents to get personal info and have soldiers consent but still be denied the info.This act is important because without privacy people can use it to their advantage.With censorship of private information individual security is maintained.
Censorship controls violence throughout all types of media.”The act of 1996 prohibits the use of an interactive computer service to willfully transmit send or display any violent content,indecent or obscene material to minors”.

If this act wasn’t established their would be rage and fury on any kind of media that is turned on.Violence plays a complex part in threats;therefore, these individuals and there words need to be restricted.The death and destruction caused by terrorist who listened to and adopted anti-american views are reminders that speech can often spur dangerous actions in response.Hate speech is dehumanizing to specific individuals and can cause others to act in violent behavior.By limiting this type of speech society is insuring the safety of persecuted groups.Censorship needs to be in place in order to secure individuals because hate is part of humanity and it needs to be

controlled.
Censorship allows for control of info and prevent slander and liable words.Legally liable means answer to the information is present ; additionally slander means a false accusation of a person.Control of false information is where you have to control the slander and non liable statements.This is important because it makes sure you have the true and accurate evidence to personal needs and satisfaction of no false accusations.”The FCC prohibits broadcasting false information about a crime or a catastrophe if the broadcaster knows the information is false and will cause “public harm”if aired”. Without the FCC setting this law there would be people making false crime and catastrophe reports.This is important because it allows false reporting an catastrophes to be a crime and offense.With censorship in control of false information it prohibits the slander and non reliable information.
Censorship benefits society due to protection through national security,control of violence in the media, and regulations of misleading info.Private and governmental information has regulations to disclose business so it can be personal unless, given the consent for a person or agency to access info.Censorship controls violence through all types of media and sets acts and laws to prohibit threats so that humankind stays secure.Censorship allows for control of false information and takes away all the slander and non reliable statements.Without censorship the world would be chaotic and too much true or false information would be out there.
