In this post, we would elaborate more on types of censorship. As Kwan Hui said in the previous post, there are five types of censorship.
Moral
This type of censorship refers to issues in which moral issues are contained. Those in charge of censoring the material may find questionable content that they do not wish their audiences to observe and would wish to withhold those sorts of ideas. An example of such would be pornography or nudity in film.
Military
The act of military censorship is to withold tactics and national information from other nations and enemies. Another way that the military is censored is by preventing disturbing images or videos of war time scenarios available to the public.
Political
This occurs when the government needs to keep secrets from its civilians in order to prevent an uprising or disruption. Democracies such as ours are not too approving of this type of censorship, but have been seen to show it in the past. An example of this could be the watergate scandal, which was witheld from public view in order to prevent the demoralization of the government, and provide a "weakness" for enemies to exploit.
Religious
This is shown when one religion sees questionable material and has it removed. It is often used by one religion to make another seem of a lesser value, as a form of competition. One religion may dissaprove of the ideas of another religion in order to be more accurate with their specific faith.

Corporate
This occurs when a corporation sees that material that is unfitting to them or their business partners. It is a good tactic in keeping their reputation respectable. Also, in light of the news, the business may wish to keep certain information private, in order to increase the customer numbers.
