Who are they to tell the public what they can or can't read, observe, listen, watch, etc.? This is another clear example of an injustice towards the people in the subject of censorship.
There are many rationalizations that are used by people that promote censorship. The first rationalization is that ideas presented or about to be presented are "false" and/or "dangerous" by the standards of the authorities and so they must be suppressed or punished. The second is that the minds of those who would be subjected to the ideas to be censored are not capable of seeing the "falsity" and would hence be led astray. Lastly, ideas that lead to "anti-social behavior" such as hardcore pornography must be censored (Abraham 360). For as many people that use these rationalizations, there is as many that do not. Wherever there is suppression of thoughts or ideas, whether it is in written form or spoken, there will always be people who oppose it. .
The reasons for protesting censorship are wide and abundant but the most substantial reason is that our constitution specifically forbids it. Anti-censorship activists feel that each individual should have the right to see, and not to see whatever they want, and that there should be no governmental involvement. Seeing the fact that our own constitution forbids censorship, you would figure that the people would be able to speak freely as they wished. This is not the case. There are not only certain restrictions against the freedom of speech, but the culture itself has had to adjust around these "rules" and therefore has suppressed them. Matt Lewis sums up their feelings when he said, "Censorship is ultimately a prohibition against information. And as time and history have and will repeatedly tell, does not work. How are we to learn form out mistakes if we never know we made them"(Corner 4)? The most common way that information is censored is with books.
