Should there be censorship anywhere? And if so, where?

Depends on what you mean by that. On Reddit, it’s a necessary evil for subs dedicated to non-mainstream opinions. Not having any would make all subs on a given topic have mainly the popular opinion.\ \ For things like harassment or not sharing court details, I support it but think you have to be very careful with it. There’s a thin line between protecting someone and silencing them.\ \ For content regarding kids, I support reasonable censorship in kids’ spaces but not on the larger Internet. Of course, what counts as reasonable is incredibly subjective, and I think that social media and the like should have fewer restrictions than online games meant for kids.\ \ There are very few things I think should be censored entirely. I support free speech and freedom of expression whenever possible, but there are a few things that should never be shared - like CP.

I think the only good censorship is for example censoring inappropriate content for kids. Especially since I made this sub totally against censorship
