Line 27:
* '''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.
== Criticisms ==
The Packilvanian government's surveillance and censorship has been criticised by foreign leaders, academics and non-governmental organisations as draconian and a violation of fundamental [[sapient rights in Packilvania]]. As such, the [[Freedom in the World]] index ranks Packilvania poorly in metrics of political freedom. Some countries have banned Packilvanian mobile telecommunications and Internet services providers due to fears surrounding Packilvanian surveillance issues as threats to their national security. Others have stated that although Packilvania does indeed conduct propaganda etc., not all its activities should be construed as surveillance and censorship. For instance, the government has used is powers to prevent the proliferation of false information and to encourage hygienic practices during the Vanoi Fever pandemic. Public surveillance has proven useful in thwarting criminals. Nevertheless, this does not vindicate the actions of the Packilvanian government.
