8. What is Censorship?
- www.gilc.org
- Censorship -- the control of the information and ideas circulated within a society -- has been a hallmark of dictatorships throughout history. In the 20th Century, censorship was achieved through the examination of books, plays, films, television and radio programs, news reports, and other forms of communication for the purpose of altering or suppressing ideas found to be objectionable or offensive. The rationales for censorship have varied, with some censors targeting material deemed to be indecent or obscene; heretical or blasphemous; or seditious or treasonous. ...
- Not all censorship is equal, nor does all arise from government or external force. ...
- To understand censorship, and the impulse to censor, it is necessary to strip away the shock epithet value that is attached to the word at first utterance. One must recognize that censorship and the ideology supporting it go back to ancient times, and that every society has had customs, taboos, or laws by which speech, dress, religious observance, and sexual expression were regulated. In Athens, where democracy first emerged, censorship was well known as a means of enforcing the prevailing orthodoxy. Indeed, Plato was the first recorded thinker to formulate a rationale for intellectual, religious, and artistic censorship. ...
- Censorship is no more acceptable for being practiced in the name of religion than for national security (which is certainly an acceptable secular substitute for religious rationales in the 20th Century). It only indicates that confronting censorship must always involve confronting some part of ourselves and our common history that is both painful and deep-seated.
- Unique historical considerations can also spawn censorship. ... That is why this series of snapshots of conditions in various countries and regions will first deal with other areas and levels of censorship and access problems, and then return to the situation in the EU.
- In a global context, governments have used a powerful array of techniques and arguments to marshal support for their censorship efforts. ...
- There are also forms of censorship that are not so obtrusive, and that have to be examined very carefully to define. "Censorship through intimidation" can be anything from threats against individuals to a government proposing to monitor all activities online (as in one proposal current at the time of this writing in Russia). ...
- "Censorship through consensus" is also a real possibility. ...
9. Internet Blocking Programs and Privatized Censorship
- www.spectacle.org
- Internet Blocking Programs and Privatized Censorship.
- Because of a perspective that might be rendered "government action bad, private action good" There's great unwillingness to think about complicated social systems, of private parties acting as as agents of censorship. ...
- Before going further, it's important to specifically define the meaning of censorship here. ...
- a) The exercise of government power must be crude, blatant, and direct - any subtlety, sophistication, or indirection makes it NOT CENSORSHIP.
- b) The information suppression must be total, complete, and perfect - if any marginalized markets exist anywhere, then it's NOT CENSORSHIP.
- It sounds silly when put so directly, but the using term censorship is so fraught with argument over the definition it's often critical to be absolutely clear as to the meaning. ...
- There are various ways to implement censorship (i. ... But even this very blatant censorship legislation, when studied in detail, has a level of indirection that is worthy of note. ...
- This subtlety is usually well-understood by anti-censorship advocates, but it is worth emphasizing in order to highlight the slight sophistication present. ...
- Although it can be annoying to slog through endless Protect The Children rhetoric, this particular indirection usually doesn't give much trouble in censorship discussion, because what's at issue is the purest form of government action. ...
- I call these various types of systems "privatized censorship". ...
- The private proponents say "Use this system, otherwise the government will pass laws to put you in jail" (this is how they are using the term "alternative" to government censorship). ...
- ", someone is sure to say "But blocking programs and ratings are private action, and that can't be censorship. ...
- Hopefully, the above long argument establishes various systems which have private elements as at least worthy of thought even under the strictest view of the meaning of censorship. When the administration of censorship is privatized, it may lose a measure of effectiveness (though how much is unclear), but it's very evident that the reach is broadened. ...
- When censorship is implemented by government threat in the background, but run by private parties, legal action is nearly impossible, accountability difficult, and this makes the reach of the system extensive. Blocking software is not a censorship solution, but another, different, censorship problem. ...
