To allow censorship of any kind is absolutely unacceptable no matter the circumstances.
Censorship under the guise of helping is in fact nothing but harmful as it withholds information that could be vital from citizens. Censorship allows for those that hold power and wish to keep holding on to that power to essentially brainwash the populace for his own devious goals.
Censorship is even more dangerous when it is disguised with the words only during political crisis. Who would decide what a political crisis is, censorship can lead a country to its doom, and history has shown us how dangerous it is.
Censorship is extremely dangerous because it is unknown who it would be that decides what is censored. That person could be working to further their …show more content…

9th there were about 80,000 casualties. Instead of warning the public about these bombs the U.S. had the Japanese government kept it secret so when the pamphlets fell down on Nagasaki no one heeded them. If the Japanese government warned the populace than 40,000 lives would have been saved and another 40,000+ would have been spared the pain of surviving a nuclear blast.
While it is possible to be able to find excellent examples in both literature and the modern world, history is where all the truly great examples lay. History is the most important tool for any person to use to determine the path that they wish for their country to take. If any country and it’s people ignore history, then their country shall end up walking the path of doom. Anyone can look into the past and see what was wrong to do and not do it in the future, this would be easily applicable to the politics and inner workings of a country.

It even went so far that when he died he had killed more than a couple million people(#2 & 3).
Perhaps a less vivid example would be Richard Nixon at Watergate. Richard Nixon’s attempt at viewing the opposing political parties campaign plan without their knowledge shows quite a bit about his character(#5). Such a scandal could be labeled as a political crisis and be kept from the public's knowledge if this was allowed and as such the U.S. would have no clue about it. However, that would then lead to the U.S. citizens having complete trust in Richard

Censorship in the media, especially during political crisis, is dangerous and should not be allowed. Who or what would be determining what gets censored and censorship in any country is dangerous as shown in history are all factors that show the dangers of censorship. To allow censorship, under any circumstances, is not only foolish but
