Hollywood Censorship

Hays code, or the Motion Picture Production Code is the set of guidelines for censorship in movies in the United States. Some of the included situations for censoring were nudity, satirizing of religion and depiction of drugs. I think Hollywood followed these rules to maintain moral values and avoid loss of profit because of the risk of people not watching films because of material the depicted. Movies have changed because nowadays, things censored in Hays code are now uncensored in some films because more toleration has developed for those things.
