Many of these are a form of self-censorship on the part of the author. Euripides asked for the freedom to speak his mind. Aristophanes faced litigation for statements his characters made in his plays. The advent of the printing press brought about governmental offices that saw to the licencing of printed material and the prohibition of seditious material. Late in Shakespeare's career, he faced fines for profanity and blasphemy in his plays. Hollywood instituted an office to impose censorship on studio films. Only in the late 20th Century did censorship ease, and, even so, censorship on pornography, or at least child pornography, continued.
