Controlled Censorship
Controlled censorship refers to the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information that is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient.
It can be carried out by governments, private institutions, or other controlling bodies.0
The objectives of internet censorship are to protect copyrighted information, control cybercrime, and stop spreading false news like hoax and propaganda.
However, it limits not only the accessibility of information but also the freedom of expression.2
Censorship by the government is unconstitutional.3
In Eritrea, only state media is allowed to disseminate news, and the last accredited international correspondent was expelled in 2007.1
