Censorship
What is Censorship?
Censorship arises when certain groups enforce their moral or political beliefs on others, whether through government action or private group pressure. While government-led censorship contradicts constitutional rights, private censorship occurs among individuals and groups.
Understanding Censorship
When private citizens or organizations initiate boycotts against businesses that sell media they oppose, such actions are safeguarded by the First Amendment, although they can have drastic consequences. For instance, during the McCarthy era, infamous Hollywood blacklists were created and enforced by private entities, not the government. The most effective way to counter private censorship is for people and organizations to vocalize their concerns and unite in defense of the expression under threat.
