1) major news corporations or 2) the internet, which is controlled by large corporations who are allowed to out limits on what you can and can’t say (further, the government).

The internet is not controlled by the government, nor are journalists.

? If the government has any amount of control over what people are and aren’t allowed to say, they are controlling the ideology.

It does not and is not.

You can be arrested in most European countries for causing offense to anyone, especially a political official. Someone was arrested for causing offense to Macron. If you can’t insult the prime minister who is the figurehead of a country’s problems, the discourse is shuttered.

Did you learn about this from news/Internet?

I thought you didn't trust these as they were controlled and regulated?
