Regulation of content is certainly an aspect of censorship - but it isn't quite worthy of the sort of heavy connotation that censorship demands. Actual suppression of ideas is a far worse notion than the suppression of the word "fuck" or a bare female chest.

Now, sure, there are lots of arguments both ways about why these things are not allowed on television, and if it even matters anymore in an age where at least 90 percent of American households are not watching over-the-air broadcasts anymore (which is how the vast majority of content regulation even got started).

Still, what no one seems to notice here is that those who want to see T'n'A on network TV at 9PM already have lots of other options to experience that, and are probably already watching them.

Let's say that Microsoft Word is the Electronic Voting Machine.
And a hand written paper letter is the paper ballot method.

Suppose there is a small election of 200 votes and a hacker/theif manages to steal the copies of the votes.

How not shocking that local Scout troops think we pose a demonic threat to children.

You got hired down here after that hideously racist and homophobic cartoon you released back in NC.

But no,it's everyone against you based on your " reverse racism conservative persecution complex".


Poor Tara. You simply radiate oppression, how do you survive the day?

The local retailers sell beer at a small mark-up, which is fairly reasonable compared to the distribution mark-up. The local guys also carry more varieties of local and general craft beer, which is something Sunoco will never have.

This is not a fault of the brewery.

Or you could support local businesses that sell these same beers in growler and bottle form. The local guys also do a better job of sanitizing your bottles and keeping their beer lines clean.

Is censorship not a way to regulate the things that we watch?

Def-
Control or supervise (something, esp. a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations

Within censorship lies rules the broadcasters must adhere to.
