Yes, the government has sometimes censored the sharing of news.
Explanation:
The government can censor some news at the time of national emergencies, communal riots, etc keeping in view the interests of the nation and the safety and peace of the society. If there is some false information circulating in the news and if it is anti-national, the government can censor the news.
Previously, the government has censored the news at the time of national emergency around 1975 – 1977. Recently, the government has censored the news of Jammu and Kashmir following the cancellation of special status to that state. There are both supportive views and counterviews to these actions of the government, but both these actions of the government has drawn serious criticism from the public and media.
The government can use its power of censorship but the people and media have been given the right to freedom of speech and expression by the constitution. The government should censor the news only if it lies in the best interests of the country. If a government censors the news and curbs the right to freedom of expression for it’s personal benefits it will be wrong on part of the government.
