Why do governments use censorship?
Governments use censorship to prevent something from being published or broadcast for reasons of secrecy. For example during war time the government may want to limit some of the information being published to improve the moral of the citizens or to prevent the enemy from getting information from the media. For example there was censorship around the troop build up in England prior to D-Day so that the size and scope fo the operation would remain a mystery to the enemy. Government can also use censorship to prevent alternate opinions from being broadcast to the population. For example in World War I the US had very harsh censorship laws and prevented anyone from speaking out against that war. This is a double edged source as it subverts democratic principles by not allowing free discussion on issues and could be seen as an abuse of power. Government can also attempt to censor on moral authority and decide, for example what is fit print and read and what is not. It can be done directly by censoring specific works or put in place legal or voluntary frameworks that effectively censor works. This is another double edge sword that potentially prevents people from accessing material they want to because of "Big Brother" government.
