This source sums up many peoples fear of censorship. This feeling originates from the idea that censoring something can completly hide what the creators intent was for their piece. In this picture you see nothing but a black screen. This is designed to make one think; what was orignially in the box, was there ever anything in the box? This is one of the problems and unpredicibilty censoring something brings. Once material is censored, there's no telling how the viewer is going to interpret or not be able to interpert it. The way this picture was censored, there is no way to tell what was originally displayed. Material is censored for many different reasons, it's not just to hide crude vocabulary and flashy attire. Sometimes it can used to block out a certain idea or belief or even ones opinion on a specific matter. This is what makes censorship so controversial and such a large issue to explore. These "blackend" images are found quite heavily through sites such as YouTube and Google TV. This could be done to agree with the sites user agreements and terms or on the terms and disgretion of the publisher/creator.
