Media constraints tighten when the social order itself is questioned.

Evidence

The most sensitive area precisely arises where the social order itself is called into question. Where issues of “public order,” “national security,” “law and order,” or “overriding national interest” are concerned, especially if linked with tactics defined as “violent,” “confrontationist,” or “illegal,” the constraints on broadcasting operate more tightly. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 860
