Who is a "censor"?
A censor is a person responsible for reviewing and controlling the content of material, such as books, films, news, or other forms of communication, to ensure it aligns with certain standards or regulations. Censors may remove or alter content deemed inappropriate, offensive, or harmful, often based on legal, moral, or political considerations. In some cases, they work for governments, media organizations, or other institutions, and their actions can limit the freedom of expression. The role of a censor is to protect society from harmful content, but it can also raise concerns about freedom of speech and creativity.
