I would suggest reading Mill on freedom of discussion, he has some good arguments.

Look at censored books like 1984, Farenheit 9/11, and Brave New World. Look at corporate censorship. Look at what isn't shown in the media. Look at what is. Look at "worthy" and "unworthy" victims. Look at the treatment towards U.S. client states and non-client states. Look at sexual repression i.e. moral censorship. Look at political censorship which tries to prevent people from revolting. Look at religious censorship which prevents the publications of facts and science, ad nauseum.

Hope this helps! ;)
