Explanation:

The taking out of material that may offend others is called censorship.

Censorship is the control of information by someone who has a monopoly on power, all censored information is done because somehow censored content exerts a concept that can be considered offense by certain standards.

Within democratic systems there is no censorship because the laws establish one of the fundamental freedoms: freedom of the press, which through it, both citizens and the media can express themselves with full freedom of ideas, provided it is done within the established by law, for example, it is forbidden to advocate violence and terrorism. Thus censorship is illegal.

Totalitarian regimes try to control all information in the media. This control is usually iron, because the purpose of a dictatorship is to stay in power and to make the population have no access to reality. To enforce this kind of control, totalitarianisms institute a complex system. On the one hand, they prohibit certain subjects and any kind of criticism of power is unacceptable. Some words and expressions are also prohibited. Journalists or informants must show their work for the censors to determine whether or not to authorize. In this case, information contrary to the concepts of the totalitarian regime is considered an offense.
