As rare as it is: I'm with Thrax on this one.

Censorship is not the job of any national government or organization. All censorship of media should be done by the individual with the small exception of such material that truly victimizes other people (in which case, it's not really censorship anymore anyway).

Even organizations like the FCC in the US have been co-opted into governors of content. The purpose of the FCC when founded was to find a way to divy up the limited bandwidth represented by broadcast airwaves. Over the years, this has morphed into an entity which sees itself as the babysitter of American broadcast content, and which foists its own values on every media absorbing person in the country.

Any organization given regulation power of any kind over a media outlet eventually lets it's own agenda make the decisions, rather than the well-being of the citizens.
