What's the difference between "demanding media silence" and calling for censorship?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Censorship is done by the state. Media silence is done by the media voluntarily.

If you get punished by the state for not complying with a demand for media silence, then what is the difference? (I'm not referring specifically to this case, but in general)
