Quote:

“Censorship is restrict or limit access to an expression, portion of an expression, or category of expression, which has been made public by its author, based on the belief that it will be a bad thing if people access the content of that expression.”

Censorship limits access to an expression, either by deterring the speaker from speaking or the hearer from receiving such speech.4 By an “expression” I mean anything that may be composed by one person and communicated to another. Censorship is restrict or limit access to an expression, portion of an expression, or category of expression, which has been made public by its author, based on the belief that it will be a bad thing if people access the content of that expression. I claim that someone censors when they think that it will be a bad thing if other persons access certain I characterize censorship as interfering with the communicative acts of consenting adults, I am going to put aside cases of type where persons are the targets of communications that they find offensive or insulting and reasonably do not wish to receive. I have proposed the following definition of censorship: restricting or limiting access to an expression, portion of an expression, or category of expression, which has been made public by its author, based on the belief that it will be a bad thing if people access the content of that expression
