Censorship in the Terran Federal Republic

The Terran Federal Republic regularly employs censorship to control public opinion, particularly during wartime. The main institution responsible for censorship is the Agency for Control of the Media or ACoM, as part of the Federal Ministry of State Security. Other agencies, in particular the Bureau and ONI, engage in censorship. Private companies also engage in censorship, although exclusively on the behalf of the government. 
Two of the most notable examples of censorship in Federal history are the Roman salute and The Crimes of Terra. The latter was not given permission for publication by the National Publishing Society, the largest book publisher in Terran space and a subsidiary of Frijkstadt. It has since then been revealed that the book was not allowed to be published because of a request of the Bureau to the Frijkstadt board. The Roman salute was popularised by the Custodian. However due to its heavy association with far-right movements in the 20th century it was seen as unsavoury. The salute, as used in the 20th century, was banned from being shown in historical context within school curriculums in 2058 by the European Ministry of Education and in 2112 it was made illegal to display it on television, a decision made by ACoM. This effort has largely erased the Nazi salute from public consciousness and has drawn a direct parallel between the Terran and Roman use with no intermediaries.
