It occurs in a variety of different media, including…
speech,
books,
music,
films,
and other arts,
.
the press,
radio,
ƒ
television,
and the Internet for a variety of claimed reasons including
national security,
to control obscenity, / child pornography / hate speech,

to promote or restrict political or religious views,
and to prevent slander and libel.

(‘direct censorship’ may or may not be legal, depending on the type, location, and content)
(many countries provide strong protections against censorship by law, but none of these protections are absolute and frequently a claim of necessity to balance conflicting rights is made, in order to determine what could and could not be censored)
