Autocracy
Autocracy is a system of government in which absolute power over a state is concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject neither to external legal restraints nor to regularized mechanisms of popular control

The most serious attacks on freedom of expression are perpetrated by countries, which are struggling democracies, new democracies. Like North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Azerbaijan, Vietnam, Iran, China, Myanmar, and Cuba

To maintain public ignorance during a rebellion or conflict, the press is censored through tactics such as suppressing reporters and closing or taking over the news outlet.
