Open Access and Science Censorship | Science and Our Society

Summary:

"How this ties into science censorship: If we do have the right to freely access data our taxes pay for, then the power of an entity to censor that data becomes an issue for debate. Is there ever a reason for the government to halt federal agencies’ research communication with the public? Or with other scientists? Is there a balance for censoring certain classified research that, in the wrong hands, could be a public threat?"
