I believe no one should be censored. I think the only reason a person is censored is because other people are afraid of what the person has to say. Why should people not have free speech? Its a right we have according to the Constitution. One big problem is censorship on the internet.
For centuries governments have tried to regulate materials deemed inappropriate or offensive. The history of western censorship was said to have begun when Socrates was accused "firstly, of denying the gods recognized by the State and introducing new divinities, and secondly of corrupting the young."(fileroom.aaup.uic.edu) He was sentenced to death for these crimes. Many modern governments are attempting to control access to the Internet. They are passing regulations that restrict the freedom people once took for granted.
