No publication was allowed without the accompaniment of a government-granted license. Fifty years earlier, at a time of <a href="/wiki/English_Civil_War" title="English Civil War">civil war</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Milton" title="John Milton">John Milton</a> wrote his <a href="/wiki/Pamphlet" title="Pamphlet">pamphlet</a> <i><a href="/wiki/Areopagitica" title="Areopagitica">Areopagitica</a></i> (1644).<sup id="cite_ref-Sanders_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sanders-24"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In this work Milton argued forcefully against this form of government censorship and parodied the idea, writing "when as debtors and delinquents may walk abroad without a keeper, but inoffensive books must not stir forth without a visible jailer in their title." Although at the time it did little to halt the practice of licensing, it would be viewed later a significant milestone as one of the most eloquent defenses of <a href="/wiki/News_media" title="News media">press</a> freedom.<sup id="cite_ref-Sanders_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sanders-24"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Milton's central argument was that the individual is capable of using reason and distinguishing right from wrong, and good from bad. In order to be able to exercise this ration right, the individual must have unlimited access to the ideas of his fellow men in "a free and open encounter." Milton's writings developed the concept of the open <a href="/wiki/Marketplace_of_ideas" title="Marketplace of ideas">marketplace of ideas</a>, the idea that when people argue against each other, good arguments will prevail. One form of speech that was widely restricted in Great Britain was <a href="/wiki/Seditious_libel" title="Seditious libel">seditious libel</a>, and laws were in place that made criticizing the government a crime. The king was above public criticism and statements critical of the government were forbidden, according to the English court of the <a href="/wiki/Star_Chamber" title="Star Chamber">Star Chamber</a>. The truth was not a defense to seditious libel because the goal was to prevent and punish all condemnation of the government. </p><p>Locke contributed to the <a href="/wiki/Statute_of_Anne#Lapse_of_the_Licensing_Act" title="Statute of Anne">lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695</a>, whereupon the press needed no license. Still, some libels were tried throughout the 18th century, until "the Society of the Bill of Rights" led by <a href="/wiki/John_Horne_Tooke" title="John Horne Tooke">John Horne Tooke</a> and <a href="/wiki/John_Wilkes" title="John Wilkes">John Wilkes</a> organized a campaign to publish Parliamentary Debates. This culminated in three defeats of the Crown in the 1770 cases of Almon, Miller and <a href="/wiki/Henry_Sampson_Woodfall" title="Henry Sampson Woodfall">Woodfall</a>, who all had published one of the <a href="/wiki/Letters_of_Junius" title="Letters of Junius">Letters of Junius</a>, and the unsuccessful arrest of <a href="/wiki/John_Wheble" title="John Wheble">John Wheble</a> in 1771. Thereafter the Crown was much more careful in the application of <a href="/wiki/Libel" class="mw-redirect" title="Libel">libel</a>; for example, in the aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/Peterloo_Massacre" title="Peterloo Massacre">Peterloo Massacre</a>, <a href="/wiki/Francis_Burdett" title="Francis Burdett">Burdett</a> was convicted, whereas by contrast, the <a href="/wiki/Junius_(writer)" title="Junius (writer)">Junius</a> affair was over a <a href="/wiki/Satire" title="Satire">satire</a> and sarcasm about the non-lethal conduct and policies of the government. </p><p>In Britain's American colonies, the first editors discovered their readers enjoyed it when they criticised the local governor; the governors discovered they could shut down the newspapers. The most dramatic confrontation came in New York in 1734, where the governor brought <a href="/wiki/John_Peter_Zenger" title="John Peter Zenger">John Peter Zenger</a> to trial for criminal libel after the publication of satirical attacks. The defense lawyers argued that according to English common law, the truth was a valid defense against libel. The jury acquitted Zenger, who became the iconic American hero for freedom of the press. The result was an emerging tension between the media and the government. By the mid-1760s, there were 24 weekly newspapers in the 13 colonies, and the satirical attack on the government became common features in American newspapers.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Victorian_era" title="Victorian era">Victorian era</a>, the press became more influential than it had been previously, to the dismay of some readers. <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Carlyle" title="Thomas Carlyle">Thomas Carlyle</a>, in his essay "<a href="/wiki/Critical_and_Miscellaneous_Essays" title="Critical and Miscellaneous Essays">Signs of the Times</a>" (1829), said that the "true <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a>, at this moment, lies in the Editors of its Newspapers.

This Arabic-language media channel operates out of <a href="/wiki/Qatar" title="Qatar">Qatar</a>, whose government is relatively liberal compared to many of its neighboring states. As such, its views and content are often problematic to a number of governments in the region and beyond. However, because of the increased affordability and miniaturisation of satellite technology (e.g., dishes and receivers) it is simply not practicable for most states to control popular access to the channel.</li> <li>Internet-based publishing (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Blog" title="Blog">blogging</a>, <a href="/wiki/Social_media" title="Social media">social media</a>) vs. traditional <a href="/wiki/Publishing" title="Publishing">publishing</a>: Traditional magazines and newspapers rely on physical resources (e.g.,&#160;offices, printing presses) that can easily be targeted and forced to close down. Internet-based publishing systems can be run using ubiquitous and inexpensive equipment and can operate from any global jurisdiction. Nations and organisations are increasingly resorting to legal measures to take control of online publications, using national security, anti-terror measures and <a href="/wiki/DMCA_takedown" class="mw-redirect" title="DMCA takedown">copyright laws</a> to issue takedown notices and restrict opposition speech.<sup id="cite_ref-90" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-90"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>90<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></li> <li>Internet, anonymity software and <a href="/wiki/Strong_cryptography" title="Strong cryptography">strong cryptography</a>: In addition to Internet-based publishing, the Internet (in combination with anonymity software such as <a href="/wiki/Tor_(network)" title="Tor (network)">Tor</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cryptography" title="Cryptography">cryptography</a>) allows for <a href="/wiki/Source_(journalism)" title="Source (journalism)">sources</a> to remain anonymous and sustain confidentiality while delivering information to or <a href="/wiki/Secure_communication" title="Secure communication">securely communicating</a> with journalists anywhere in the world in an instant (e.g. <a href="/wiki/SecureDrop" title="SecureDrop">SecureDrop</a>, <a href="/wiki/WikiLeaks" title="WikiLeaks">WikiLeaks</a>).</li> <li><a href="/wiki/VOIP" class="mw-redirect" title="VOIP">Voice over Internet protocol</a> (VOIP) vs. conventional <a href="/wiki/Telephony" title="Telephony">telephony</a>: Although conventional telephony systems are easily tapped and recorded, modern VOIP technology can employ low-cost strong cryptography to evade surveillance.
