Censorship aims to prevent us from thinking for ourselves. When one lives in ignorance, it is difficult to accurately assess events. Hiding the truth is cowardice – the fear that the censor will be bombarded with arguments to which he has no answers.
The censorship law is not a law, but a police measure. And it is bad police work because it does not do what was intended, but what was not intended. On Freedom of the Press (1842) by Karl Marx. He was right when he said: Being determines consciousness.
