Artistic accountability
Artistic accountability concerns the question of to whom an artist owes responsibility for the content, effects, and social consequences of their work, with possible answers ranging from accountability to a community or moral standards to full artistic autonomy.
Censorship
Censorship is the suppression or restriction of speech, publication, or other forms of expression by a government, institution, or other authority, typically justified on grounds of national security, public morality, or social harmony. Mill argued in On Liberty that censorship harms society by silencing potentially true ideas and preventing the refinement of beliefs through open debate, making the free marketplace of ideas essential to human progress.
Censorship (in aesthetics)
Censorship (in aesthetics): the suppression, restriction, or prohibition of artistic works by state, religious, or institutional authorities, on grounds that the works are harmful to public order, morally corrupting, or politically dangerous.
Hate speech
expression targeting individuals or groups on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexuality, which may incite hostility or violence. Whether hate speech constitutes "harm" in Mill's sense is one of the most contested questions in contemporary free speech debates.
