Senseless censor


In this article the author is making an argument against the censorship that is occuring in Iranian media. The author is making the case that censorship is ineffective. He argues that censorship doesnt make an impact because we are living in the 21st century where we have access to everything on the internet and trying to get rid of something would be nearly impossible because of how quickly everything moves and how fast everything is seen. He also argues that censorship is self distructive in nature. He argues that when people see that something is being censored they become more interested in learning about whatever is being censored when otherwise they would have never even seen it. He also suggests that the people who are looking to censor more need to start by censoring themselves and not the media.
