That's odd. Usually people ask why is censorship available. The reason why to go against censorship is for the right of freedom of speech. Where I'm from, it's a given to have democracy and equity among people. So that probably makes me biased towards the topic however I do think everyone deserves access to information. How many times has searching in Google helped you with academic studies, or even watching a YouTube video help you with your own projects that are yet to be recognized.
The idea of censorship will limit and isolate a group that is trying to expand. Our young restless children will be imprisoned by the chains of strict censorship. In China, the most popular use of the internet is in discussion boards. China prevents people from looking at foreign sites, so the youth remain on discussion boards to criticize the government and express their views on the limited freedom they have.
However if someone were to find out about their opposing idea of censorship, they could face a penalty by the government. I think people should express themselves because it shows everyone else a better picture of what is happening.
The only positive use of censorship, which government has the power to do, is to restrict information that could cause mass panic. The point of a government is to keep a civilization stable and if censorship is the answer then yes. But an excessive use of this tactic is just an excuse to gain control. If you censor the outside world, no one will know of its existence and that is a sad thought to have in mind.

What was censored by the Australian government to the Australians in World War 2?
The Australian Government censored everything to do with the war. In the attack on Darwin, other cities did not gain any real information as to what had happened. Or, the government scattered details over weeks, for example, in one week they would say that 4 people died today, the next week another 6 people died here. Anything that disclosed details of an attack were censored to stop mass panic on the homefront. This was not only newspapers but television and radio also. The government was given complete control of the media. Not only the media, but during war time a censorship board was established to censor soldiers letters home to families. Anything censored would just be blacked out.
