The established film industry in the United States began a form of self-censorship in the late 1920s called the Motion Picture Production Code to forestall any possible formation of a federal censoring agency. In 1968, the Production Code was superseded by the MPAA film rating system.

Censorship, in general discussion has to do with pressure from the government. Even the Hayes code and the Comics Code were enacted to avoid oncoming government censorship.

I just think we are too fast and loose with the word and are in danger of watering it down with inappropriate uses.

Are the Star Wars Special Editions censored?
