What is the use of censorship for blogging?
The purpose of blogging is to express one's thoughts without any consequences, but many governments (including the United States) believe that certain statements are not deserving of protection. For example, if one were to blog that the president should be killed or that some celebrity ought to be murdered, that would not be protected under the First Amendment, and might cause criminal charges to be placed against the person who made the statement. In general, the governments in most democracies leave opinion blogs alone, even if the opinions expressed are not popular or are controversial-- as long the line is not crossed regarding threats of violence.
There are some people who believe that blogs deserve to be censored for bad language or for displaying racist/sexist/homophobic speech or images. This is controversial, because some First Amendment supporters believe even content that might be considered vulgar or offensive must not be censored. Often, it is advocacy groups made up of parents, educators, or members of the clergy, who believe children should be protected from vulgar and bigoted content and thus, they feel it is acceptable to exert some control over what can and cannot be blogged.
This is a topic that inspires very passionate and polarized views. The blogging community, understandably, does not like censorship of any kind; but the people who believe they are just protecting their kids have equally strong opinions on the topic. There will probably continue to be a push-pull dynamic, with attempts made to censor some controversial sites, and civil libertarians pushing back.

Why did censorship change in Fahrenheit 451?
Well, lessening of differing opinion, for one. Less original thought and action, apparently. More leisure time, less decision-making. Less value placed on human life. Bigger rifts between people who live in the cities and those who lived outside. ... Of course, this wasn't mild labeling or typical censorship. This was no books, period. Another effect, predictably, was rebellion. People who refused to live by the new rules.

Sometimes, but this all depends entirely on your point of view about censorship. Public school libraries usually listen to parents about how things should be.
Answer:
Censorship is always a bad thing. The implication is that someone (the agency doing the censorship) knows what is "good and proper" for everyone. This cannot be true as everyone is different. Children and young adults in all schools should have the opportunity to be exposed to whatever they choose and be offered the opportunity to discuss their findings with adults who are willing to explain the ramifications of what they observe in an intelligent and open way. In this manner they can form their own opinions as to what is appropriate.
Censorship of spoken or written words before they have been expressed is prior restraint?
In this example, express is an adjective and not a verb. Hearing it as a verb, the ear wants to modify the word to expressed, with a sense: the consent that has been expressed by someone or something. But this is not the correct use of the word in your example. Express written consent means: the consent that has been directly, firmly and explicitly stated. Another example: "He disobeyed my express orders." So, "express written consent" is correct.

Censorship in South Africa is a contentious issue, as it must be balanced against the right to freedom of speech enshrined in the Constitution. While certain forms of censorship, such as those aimed at protecting national security, public order, or preventing hate speech, may be justified, excessive censorship can infringe on individual rights and stifle public discourse. Ultimately, the challenge lies in ensuring that any restrictions on speech are proportionate and necessary, preserving the democratic values of open dialogue and expression.
