            This article is talking about a new trend that is popular in the YouTube community. It involves sharing a live video of you giving birth to a child. The author is writing about people who believe childbirth is important enough to livestream and share with the world. This is relative to my topic because it involves showing a private or personal thing that should probably be censored. It is a new trend and based on how YouTube has been treating its “employees” it will soon be censored too.

This article is talking about Pakistan’s history with censorship relating to its internet availability. In the article they do a study where they see which websites are blocked and which have strict or limited access. Some websites were blocked the others were restricted. This relates well to my topic because it is all about censorship through YouTube and deciding what is right and wrong for someone to post and hearing how censorship varies in a different country is interesting.

            This article talks about censorship as a whole and how the government is limiting peoples freedom of expression by having certain content censored. The authors main points are censorship, the usage of draconian laws (those of sedition), taking down online content citing violent repercussions all go against laws of freedom of expression. This source is relative to my topic because it is talking about videos getting taken down from online and censorship.
