Question

Should the government be allowed to censor books, movies, the Internet, or magazines? If so, under what circumstances, and why?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The protection of the Bill of Rights goes beyond the specific guarantees to protect from Congressional abridgment those equally fundamental personal rights necessary to make the express guarantees fully meaningful.I think the right to receive publications is such a fundamental right.The dissemination of ideas can accomplish nothing if otherwise willing addressees are not free to receive and consider them. It would be a barren marketplace of ideas that had only sellers and no buyers.” Lamont v. Postmaster General, 381 U.S. 30

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

well it depends:

If the goverment is censoring real information because it goes against them or they don't like it then that would be taking away or interfering with America's first amendment (freedom of speech, press, and assembly)

Though the government should censor false information that is causing panic and chaos.

So yes, the government should only be allowed to censor false information.
