Over the past few years, there has been a lot of talk about media censorship and how it affects people. Different countries have different laws which state what is and what isn’t allowed to be shown on television or looked at on the internet.
It’s up to governments now to decide which content can be viewed freely and, on the other hand, what should be banned.

In its core, the Internet is an embodiment of democracy. Forums, discussions, blogs, Wikipedia… All these present a corpus of invaluable information that can make a difference between educated and uneducated people.
We are only a few clicks away from the information on every single thing that has ever existed in the history of human civilization. And if we consider this aspect only, the Internet absolutely respects the basic human right to be informed and promotes freedom of speech.
