Journal Four-Censorship

Questions
1. How much is religion censored on television, radio, internet, etc?
I would probably search the encyclopedia for this, looking up each source of media and how much they get censored. I could also look at specific sources, such as LA Times/ABC/PBR etc for what their guidelines are. 
They are all censored differently according to the area to which you are in actually. Although there are many things you cannot say or do on most every media source the actual facts come down to what areas you live in. The Federal Communications Commission, Communications Decency Act and Children's Protection Act are just a few of the things put into motion in order to keep censorship in the media. 

2. Who first implemented all these censors and why?
Again I could use encyclopedias and also government documents found primarily on the internet. 
It appears as though it goes as far back as 1978 with the Sedition Acts; which had been placed to limit the printing of slavery and its abolishment. 

3. What is deemed 'harmful or hate speech' on these media sources?
Again encyclopedia! This seems like a daunting thing for me to be using a whole lot! They do hold a lot of information, but I could also again use government documents found online to see what they state to be 'harmful and hate speech.'
Things deemed as such are usually words or phrases that force others down and make them feel inferior.
