Welcome

This Wikia is a database cataloging everything related to censorship past and present, in news media, film, artwork, and literature. The current focus is on online Internet censorship.

Founded on 28 January 2005 and restarted on January 16, 2017, there are currently 1,789 articles on this Wikia.
