	While seemingly restrictive, the powers of censorship are rarely used and often are regarded with disdain. There is no permanent committee established to coordinate censorship efforts, so any censorship usually has to be directly forced through the legislature. This results in a sort of pseudo-free speech system, where one's freedom of speech is threatened mostly by outside forces. However, individual enforcement officers have the power to take care of any cases that fall under sedition or movements to violence.
