Censorship in the Philippines involves the regulation and suppression of content deemed inappropriate or harmful by the government, often impacting media, film, literature, and online platforms. The country has faced criticism for its laws that can restrict freedom of expression, particularly regarding political dissent and criticism of the government. While the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, various laws and practices, including the Cybercrime Prevention Act and anti-terrorism legislation, can lead to self-censorship among journalists and citizens. The landscape of censorship is dynamic, influenced by both political changes and societal pressures.
