Censorship, then, can be seen as a natural outgrowth of a society's internal conflict between the group and the individual. Nudity, sex are naturally occurring phenomena. The restrictions on them and their appearance in art is a product of group morality, nothing that exists outside of the group and their concepts about them. So censorship is, basically, a tool of a group, a weapon if you will, to be used to suppress individuality, as individuality is seen as damaging to the group. It rarely works well, merely retards society, and causes all manner of problems arising from using group resources to stifle individual activity.
Individuals continue to produce individual work, no matter what restrictions are placed on doing so.
In this sense, looking at the American Constitution's First Amendment, it is not so much a statement of right and wrong, but rather a resignation by the a group, that to attempt to regulate human expression is a losing proposition, a waste of shared time and resources. It's too bad the caliber of the current American politician has dropped so precipitously that they fail to recognise the fact.
