Censorship is a major issue in today's society. Whether it's the government, music, advertising or film industry, many things we see, read and hear are changed up, modified and amended in one way or another.
The debate on which is the best mobile operating system is one discussed frequently throughout the tech world. Google has the biggest reach - covering over half of the smartphone market with its various incarnations of Android, whilst many others believe that Apple's iOS is superior, and is only behind due to being closed source and running on arguably overpriced technology.
