Since there is now a debate on whether censorship is really
necessary in Singapore, im wondering if it really is necessary to
put in so much effort to censor stuff. Some people may find that
censorship is too strict, as well as the fact that it is rather
unnecessary and view it as a suppression of opinion, which is
distinctly dangerous and suffocating prospect for society as a
whole as well as for individuals themselves. However some sources
state that both the government and the people want it, favouring
caution and prevention over liberalism. Is censorship really
important? (like maybe in terms of censoring media and news
)
