If you talking about like blocking things out then yes. There are many things that kids dont need to here and especially on the internet i think its a good thing to an extent.

Agree with @Yoda, censorship is appropriate, such as on the radios and on television. Lets say a song that is going main stream has a swear word/profanity in it, then they will blank it out due to the little kids/teenagers listening/watching the television or radio show/station.

It is a good thing, it will not teach kids how to swear more then enough, now I swear a lot but I do not use it in settings like they do on the radios and television sets.

Yes, if used very, very, very moderately for the right reasons.

Realistically these are pointless uses, they don't truly benefit society. These words you're referring to aren't actually harmful. Censoring certain actions from television, however, can be useful in moderation.

Censorship is what makes this world more private. We are already losing our privacy through the NSA, Government, etc and I would kill a bitch if they take anymore from our rights of privacy.

On a off-topic note: I was doing a paper for my ENG 102 class and my teacher didn't want us to use "over-used" cliche topics, so I thought I would do a research paper on Privacy and she threw me off the fucking boat for that idea because it was an "over-used" topic. I was like, "So you're telling me that we can do a paper on Immigration, a problem that has been handed the same way for decades, and you won't let me do a research paper on how we lose different rights to our privacy laws EVERYDAY?" like fuck that bitch LOL. Censorship is huge and it should be allowed due to the fact that all Citizens have a right to their privacy, as stated in our Amendments, and slowly day by day, we are losing our rights one by one.

Blatantly. The whole point of censorship is to keep us ignorant for the censor's benefit.
