Specific instances of censorship, arrests, and harassment of journalists have been documented over time, casting a shadow over press freedoms. These actions, often carried out under various pretexts, effectively stifle critical reporting and limit the scope of public discourse. Governments have, at times, employed tactics that extend beyond overt censorship. The utilisation of digital surveillance, the imposition of regulations on social media, and even temporary internet blackouts have been observed as methods to control the flow of information and suppress dissenting voices, particularly during periods of political sensitivity.
