Surveillance and censorship in Packilvania: Difference between revisions

[[Surveillance and censorship in Packilvania|'''Surveillance and censorship in Packilvania''']] refer to the policies, institutions, systems and devices used to monitor citizens and control information in [[Packilvania]]. The [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania|Department of State Security]] is the government agency responsible for advising the government on and coordinating the implementation of surveillance and censorship policies. However, other organisations indirectly participate in the development and enforcement of surveillance and censorship policies throughout the nation such as the Packilvania Police Service, the [[Packilvanian State Security Agency]], the [[Judiciary of Packilvania]] etc. This can include the interception of telecommunications, regulations on media content, the use of a nationwide camera surveillance system etc. Due to its heavy restrictions on the Internet and media and use of propaganda, Packilvania is often ranked poorly in metrics of media freedom and freedom of speech and thought. Government authorities such as Prime Minister [[Prince Luwadeen a-Harim Bedon]] have justified these policies as necessary to maintain public order and national security.

 

* '''Self-censorship:''' Due to the difficulty of many media restriction policies, senior officials in media namely editors and producers are held to high standards by the state and often held responsible for the journalistic work of their subordinates. They are required to discipline, dismiss or even report journalists that might threaten the state or subvert its interpretation of public order and national security.
