Direktna vladina cenzura medija i interneta skrenula je na sebe najveću pažnju, iako tihi, rastući val samocenzure -- bilo zbog straha od hapšenja ili zbog utjecaja na izglede za karijeru -- može jednako ograničavati slobodu medija.
Direct government censorship on the media and internet has received the greatest attention, though it is the silent, rising tide of self-censorship -- whether because of fear of arrest or impact on career prospects – that can be equally restrictive of media freedom.
