Yes, and we will all be the worse for it
Most of the rulers of countries around the world are more concerned about maintaining their control and power than they are about empowering the masses. Knowledge is power so control of knowledge means they control the power.

It is completely accurate to say that anyone who tries to impose censorship of truth or reality, even if to make it "safe" for some group (children, babies, cats, dogs, the little old prudish lady next door), is causing irreparable harm to the openness of the Internet and World Wide Web. Either you have 100% free communication, even if it is of ideas abhorrent to someone, or most people, or you do not.
