About this site
Context is the purpose.
American Censorship is an independent editorial archive about Americans and the changing limits placed on reading, teaching, publishing, reporting, performance, and online access. It is informational rather than legal guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Contacting American Censorship
What should I send with a correction request?
Include the article title or topic, the statement you believe needs review, and documentation that supports the correction. Public records and clearly identified source materials are especially useful.
Can I report a later decision or appeal?
Yes. If a review, appeal, access decision, or policy status has changed, provide the relevant date and supporting record so the archive can assess whether an update is needed.
Does the archive publish every message it receives?
No. Correspondence is handled as editorial communication. The archive does not publish private messages as a routine part of its coverage.
Can the site provide legal advice?
No. American Censorship provides editorial context and general information. It does not offer legal advice or representation.

What kinds of topics does the archive cover?
Coverage may include access disputes involving schools, libraries, government bodies, news organizations, cultural institutions, publishers, and online services in the United States.
