Censors come calling article

Censorship within the media and in particularly the internet is sensitive topic which has lead to debates over what should and what should not be censored, or if governments even have the rights to censor the internet. The article censors come calling authored by Lisa Murrary on September 23rd 2006 critically analysis’s the issue of censorship of the internet by governments around the world. Lisa Murrary has included extensive research of censorship as well as quotes which has resulted in an interesting and intriguing read. The article itself is fairly straight foreword, informative and shamelessly names countries with the strictest and harshest censorship laws, including Australia.

In response to the article censorship of websites is a debatable topic which in my opinion to an extent is necessary however leads to the question of who has the right to say what is appropriate and what is not. Unfortunately it seems that censorship will only become stricter as time progresses.
