Let common sense prevail over extremist ideology

Why should not censor?
-enhance appeal of forbidden fruit; backfires by drawing attention to it
-cast suspicion on integrity of govt (something to hide?)
-futile effort, as like the hydra,\new sites pop up as existing ones are blocked...
-educate and counter is better; challenge false ideology, not block it, to show it's wrong
-if censor, cannot monitor and understand false ideology, making it difficult to police and control it....

Vocab:
-pulling the plug
-censorship is akin to closing the eye and hoping the problem will go away
-win hearts and minds
-digital martyrs
-like (the slaying of) the hydra
-silver bullet
-marketplace of ideas

Qn:
1) 'Censorship has no place in today's society.' Do you agree?
2) How far is it important for people to be aware of current events in countries other than their own? (Cam. 2014)
3) To what extent can the regulation of scientific or technological developments be justified? (Cam . 2014)
