Private Censorship
Concerns about censorship have once again reached a fever pitch across the liberal West.In other historical periods, such concerns may have marked reactions to book bans and burnings.Often, they followed prosecutions and subsequent jailtime for things spoken or written.During the Red Scare, they were the hushed response to chilling state-sponsored watch-lists and employer-supported blacklists designed to ensure victory against communism.Against this history, complaints about the new censorship appear differently.With respect to the new censorship, there are no books burnings, no prosecutions, no laws or committees.Indeed, there is no coercive state involvement at all.With a few notable exceptions, complaints about censorship in the 21st-century West are complaints about the behavior of private parties: social groups, employers, media conglomerates, social media platforms, and search engines.To better understand the concerns surrounding nonstate interference with speech, Private Censorship offers an account of censorship, as well as an assessment of the ethical and political issues it raises across contexts.J.P. Messina asks and variously answers questions like: what should we think when employees get fired for things they say and how might patterns of such firings create a climate of fear inimical to free inquiry?When is it appropriate for social media firms to deplatform users, and what does it mean for our democracy that those in charge of such decisions are often wealthy Silicon Valley executives?Do search engines act as massive gatekeepers to information in troubling ways, and how might they be constrained, if they do?Along the way, Messina casts a critical eye on many popular proposals for responding to these complaints.Unlike these popular approaches, Private Censorship foregrounds the importance of rights to property, association, and free expression for thinking well about 21st-century censorship concerns.

Censorship in Japan
This book explores censorship, particularly film and video censorship, in Japan in modern times.It shows how most censorship has been the film and video industry exercising self-censorship and how this system has been problematic in that it has allowed dominant players in the industry to impose their own standards and exclude independent filmmakers.It outlines notable obscenity cases and discusses how industry self-censorship bodies have been undermined both by industry outsiders setting up their own alternative regimes and by the industry self-censorship bodies themselves being prosecuted for obscenity.The book also examines the conflict between the obscenity law, introduced in Meiji times when Japan was importing Western models, and the freedom of speech law, which was put in place by the US occupation administration after World War II.The book concludes by assessing the current state of censorship in Japan and likely future developments.

Giving Offense : Essays on Censorship
This is an analysis of censorship from the perspective of one who has lived and worked under its shadow.The essays collected here attempt to understand the passion that plays itself out in acts of silencing and censoring.Coetzee argues that a destructive dynamic of belligerence and escalation tends to overtake the rivals in any field ruled by censorship.From Osip Mandelstam commanded to compose an ode in praise of Stalin, to Breyten Breytenbach writing poems under and for the eyes of his prison guards, to Aleksander Solzhenitsyn engaging in a trial of wits with the organs of the Soviet state, the book focuses on the ways authors have historically responded to censorship.It also analyzes the arguments of Catharine MacKinnon for the suppression of pornography and traces the operations of the old South African censorship system.
