> I'm sure the governments can ultimately control things

In the US there is free speech protecting the ability of people to say what they want.

Public TV has limitations on broadcast of certain material like pornography, obviously, but the government can’t come in and “control” the opinions of journalists and newscasters.

The current US admin has tried to put pressure on broadcasters it disagrees with and it’s definitely not a good thing.

You really do not want to encourage governments to “control” what topics cannot be discussed or what speech is regulated. Sooner or later the government will use that against someone you agree with for their own power.
