Answer 1

ANSWER

Self Censorship

EXPLAINATION

Censorship means putting a restriction on speech,information or any form of communication that has questionable content.

Direct Censorship means the restrictions which are put directly on someone .

Government monopolization means that government is the sole provider of a particular thing thus it has restricted others in that field.

Under Pre-Publication review it is ensured that the material which is to be published should not contain any sensitive information .

In licensing and regulation a license or approval is to obtained before starting anything in public domain thus it puts restriction in what you can do .

On the other hand in Self-censorship creators and authors limit/restrict themselves on what to tell and what not to tell. Since there is no intervention of third party hence it does not come under direct censorship.
