Throughout human history there has been a lot of censorships established by many goverments, emperors or rulers. Censorship of book, tv shows, or video games for example. In the book Fahrenheit 451, ther are examples of

censorhip in which i am going to explain and mention throught this essay using quotes.

- There are many types of censorships, including self- censorship, soft censorships, direct censorship, and of course regular censorhip. Censorships occur primary in involment with national security, obsenity control,
