Salman Thinks Social Networks Need to Be Censored; Here's Why.

Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars today with a massive fan following from all over the world.

With his in-film looks becoming a fashion trend, Bhai fans across the world quite literally hang on to every word the actor says. In fact, Salman’s social following too is something that any actor would wish for; filled with ardent fans the actor always makes it a point to keep in touch with them.

Speaking about social media, recently Salman voiced his opinion on why he thinks censorship is needed for such networks. Salman stated that, like films which have a censor board, social media too requires one to weed out the objectionable content. According to the actor, given the fact that social networking sites offer users a curtain of anonymity, certain users abuse this curtain to lash out and make derogatory remarks against others while relieving their frustration. In his view, it is such people who misuse the medium to abuse others that makes it rather unsavory.

However, the actor is pretty happy about the new self-censorship norms that have been put in place on Facebook and Twitter. In fact, Salman states that it is good that these mediums have woken up to the fact that these mediums with public prominence have decided to clean up by blocking certain words and people.
