These restrictions can range from limiting the dissemination of information to a complete temporary ban on public communications. The duration of such censorship is typically determined by the official or committee overseeing the case, with considerations based on the severity of the offense and its potential impact on public perception or inter-ministerial relations.
Beyond intergovernmental disputes, the Censorship Board also monitors civilian media, literature, art, and public discourse to ensure that all messaging aligns with the state's ideological and political directives. Individuals or organizations found to be spreading misinformation, inciting unrest, or undermining the authority of the empire may face severe penalties, including permanent bans or legal repercussions.
