Censored: From Mickey Mouse to the Marx Brothers
Mr. Fox says a common misconception is that censorship activities were focused primarily on sex. He says B.C. censors cast a wide net and employed loose interpretation of the act, censoring for not only sexual morality and political content, but for social and even artistic reasons.
From movies to murals to FOI, censorship lives onWe might think porn was the main concern, but we would be wrong. Porn pretty much kept its knickers on back in the early 20th century.
