Abstract

The article posits that media regulation is a tool used by governments to maintain power structures through the control of the "market for loyalties." This concept suggests that laws are employed to manage information and cultural narratives, ensuring that those in power retain their influence by shaping public allegiance. The author illustrates this through examples from various countries, demonstrating how each nation tailors its media laws to fit its unique political and cultural contexts.
