Restricting exchange of ideas

Description

Restricting exchange of ideas involves implementing measures to limit the sharing, discussion, or dissemination of information and viewpoints. This strategy is practically applied through censorship, controlled media, restricted access to educational resources, or surveillance, aiming to prevent the spread of dissent, protect sensitive information, or maintain social order. It is used as a remedy to curb misinformation, suppress harmful ideologies, or safeguard national security, but may also hinder innovation and democratic participation.
