Image via: Bookish 

The practice of book censorship is predominant in human history for a long period.

As stated by Newth (2010), the origin of the term ‘censor’ was from the office of censor of 443 BC, Rome.

However, with time the act of censorship started getting associated with controversial statements at large.
