Why do Fascist government such as Franco"s Spain pass strict censorship laws?

1 answer

Fascist governments like Franco's Spain pass strict censorship laws in order to control and suppress dissenting opinions and ideas that may challenge the ruling regime. By censoring and controlling the flow of information, these governments can manipulate public opinion, maintain their grip on power, and prevent any form of opposition or resistance to their authority. Censorship also allows fascist governments to maintain a strict ideological control over society, ensuring that only approved messages and propaganda are disseminated to the public.
