Beyond the Screen: The Diverse Reasons Behind Global Film Censorship

The impact of globalization and the proliferation of content through streaming services and digital media have added new complexities to the censorship debate. As it becomes increasingly difficult to control the flow of information across borders, some nations have doubled down on their censorship efforts, extending them to online platforms. This has led to a cat-and-mouse game between censors and distributors, with films that are banned in cinemas often finding their way to online viewers. This has forced governments to consider new forms of regulation that go beyond the traditional movie theater, highlighting a broader struggle for control over media in the digital age.
