Body Paragraph 1

 Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body. It can be done by governments and private organizations. It occurs in a variety of different kinds including speech, books, music, films and other arts, news, radio, television, and the Internet, and is used to control obscenity, child pornography, hate speech, and to protect children and promote or restrict political or religious views. The Chinese Government is doing almost all of the different types of censorship to their country. The one I am focused on the most is the censorship of the internet. A lot of people take the internet for granted but in China their government takes the power of the internet and abuses it, showing their people only the things they want them to see. Blogs, posts and websites that are against this censorship of the government is immediately stripped off the internet by their Government. The Chinese people are trying to fight this kind of censorship in any way they can.
