| | The Ultimate Censorship - American History Information Guide and Reference |
 | | Sanitization (cleaning or decontamination) and whitewashing (from whitewash) are almost interchangeable terms that refer to particular acts or campaigns of censorship or omission which seek to "clean up" the portrayal of particular issues and facts which are already known, but which may conflict with a presented point of view. |
 | | Some thinkers understand censorship to include other attempts to suppress points of view or ideas such as negative propaganda, media manipulation, spin, disinformation or "free speech zones". |
 | | In a modern sense, censorship consists of any attempt to suppress information, points of view, or method of expression such as art, or profanity. |
