Censorship

Open your eyes, take a look around you and count the number of things you are restricted to do. Is the hoarding you are looking at torn? Is the movie theater closed? Is the image blurred? Now ask yourself, is it required that you be restricted??

Obviously I am not talking about laws or road traffic rules here. I am talking about censorship we are not even aware of being subject to. I am talking about the so called moral police who wish to control everything from images to ideas that we are exposed to, I am talking about the ban on books because it irked some narrow mind albeit with wide connections. I am talking about censoring of the internet search results, blocking of websites, search terms, word filters etc.

Who is anyone else to decide what should and should not be seen by you?? Ask yourself this question.
