Words that are seen as hate speech my majority of the community, unfair defamation against any person or organisation, inciting civil disturbance (though the term "disturbance" could range from peaceful protest to un controlled riots) and any sensitive details in regards to children's court cases. Also, commercial speech has diminished protections, meaning that fraudulent behaviour can also be restricted for obvious reasons.

Anything that the Government has not said they can say. All media outlets, not just radio stations, are given very strict schedules that must be abided by on pain of a Gulag sentence. Even missing this schedule by a minute results in very swift punishment of those responsible by the NKVB, so many radio presenters rely on brain augmentations to ensure that they don't miss the state-mandated schedule.

Contrary to popular belief, this extreme pedantry actually has less to do with control of the media than it does encouragement for people who for some reason best known to themselves choose not to acquire augmentations (bear in mind that this is a rampantly transhumanist society that inters its organic populations inside of Warsaw-style ghettos) to do so. It just happens that a media monopoly is a by-product of this indirect advertisement of Neo-Eugenics.

Radios cannot broadcast blatant misinformation (solely to deceive the public), private information (without consent from whoever and/or whatever has the right to it), unjustified hate speech (discrimination against a group of people, or against something or someone), extremist material, and content that can incite unrest and instability within a community.

While it is legal to say anything on radio that one can in person, Wallenburgian radio hosts that align themselves with the government seem to be more successful. Wallenburgian National Public Radio has a basic self-enforced speech code, mostly requiring joyful statements such as "reporting from ________ in/of our glorious Republic" and other patriotic hints.

Saying politically-incorrect things on a broadcast has never really been an issue in the Imperium. With all media firmly under state control, only officially-approved and desirable opinions will be aired. Any broadcast interviews are usually pre-scripted, and those invited to talk have the sense not to say anything markedly outside the script unless they want Domestic Security dragging them out of the studio for a much less pleasant chat in their precinct.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

Radio stations, along with other broadcasting mediums, are allowed many freedoms, but there are several important regulations they must comply with, including:
  • Ensuring that all broadcasts, except for rare occasions, must not relay profanity.
  • Only truthful information is broadcast, determined by an independent watchdog.
  • Withholding from broadcasting pieces that may induce mass panic and hysteria.

just about anything they want, so long as its not urging riots, or saying they are going to commit some sort of crime, no slander, no giving names or places of something protected, thats about it I can think of, we're all big boys and girls, can take whatever someone has to say, and if parents complain its their job to deal with it as a parent, by talking to their kids, not make the whole world revolve around them, the same mostly goes for TV and other forms of media.

Anything against the government, or considered an "outside influence"

on second thought, the only things we actually say on the radio are patriotic things and lectures about "socialism"

on third thought, i'm pretty sure we banned radios already

Publicly supporting terrorist organisations or any revolutionary movements or ideologies may be prosecuted under the Public Order Act. Officially the act is aimed primarily at communists, however some argue that it may be used against anybody who opposes the official principles of racial partnership, compassionate settler colonialism, and civic nationalism combined with cultural assimilation.

Rutuba of course prosecutes slander as well, and our legislation regarding intrusion of privacy is relatively strict. Quite interestingly, we also have a law that forbids the media from publishing those accused and even convicted in criminal trials. Victims, witnesses, and those participating in civil or administrative trials may request to have their names suppressed as well.
