The Libertarian Position on: Censorship

Government Should Not Control Radio, TV, the Press or the Internet

America's free press is envied by freedom-starved people everywhere. Dictators use a controlled press to silence opposition and to feed lies to their citizens.

Americans would not like it if the government here owned or controlled the newspapers. Why should we like government control of TV and radio any better? As with printed words, broadcast words can and should be regulated by the free market.

People should be able to freely choose what they will watch or listen to, without Big Brother making those decisions for them.
