During the development of new nations over the past two centuries, various issues regarding the governance of the nations themselves and the nation's peoples have been raised and fought over. These issues range from the form of government; whether a nation should be a tyranny, a monarchy, or a democracy; how much freedom the nation's citizens should have. In general, one of the most important topics in recent politics is the idea of ​​media censorship, from the issue of first amendment rights in the United States to the extremely dystopian society of North Korea, where incredibly censored and manipulated information dominates social life. and anything positive is rewritten to be caused by their "dear leader", whoever the current monarch is. Violence, along with pornography, is one of the biggest topics in the censorship debate, as is the effect of exposure to violence. . “By age nineteen, children and adolescents exposed to media violence are more likely to view violence as normal behavior and to become criminals themselves,” says New Republic editor Gregg Easterbrook. People, especially children, who are still in the formative stage of their lives will be much more influenced by maliciously aligned media than those who are older and have already established their core values ​​and beliefs. However, it has also been shown that the acts of violence and murder often shown in films (and apparently replicated by some children) also occurred in children before the invention of television or cinema - as in Leopold's film "Perfect". -Loeb.

If this were the case, almost no one would be able to access such media, regardless of the influence it might have on them. Ultimately, however, it is not the government's job to censor all media that is created in its country. Regardless of the censorship rules put in place, it is guaranteed that there will always be a certain amount of media, large or small, that will leak through such an "information block". Therefore, in the case of children, it is the duty of their guardians to protect them from such harmful media or choose not to. In today's society, adults have more than enough tools to protect their children from violence if they want, with options like parental controls and new security modes on smartphones that limit access to certain areas of the device.
