Arguments against my position

Argument #1:
 Censorship can be used to protect children from seeing inappropriate content. While children can deal with most things easily, scary or violent images can affect they way they thing at a young age, and censoring these in certain situations can be a good thing.

Argument #2:
Censorship can prevent hateful or false ideas from spreading around. In the modern era, we have such easy access to information that it's easy to find false information flying around. Censoring or regulating this could help with its spread. Ideas from various hate or extremist groups also are more prevalent on the internet, and those are ideas that should not be spread as much.
