Censorship

[KEmperor]

Censorship means that the government declares the speech illegal.  I oppose virtually all forms of censorship.  That said, I believe that broadcasting compainies and newspaper companies should institute their own standards and refuse to publish/broadcast certain things.

Nothing should be banned.  Welcome to America!

Here is a direct quote from the BBC's website about American freedom of expression.  Is it just me, or does it sound like they disapprove?

"Freedom of expression in the US is guaranteed by the constitution, and some stations give airtime to extreme hues of political - often right-wing - and religious thinking. Elsewhere, outspoken radio "shock jocks" push at the boundaries of taste."
