“The time, it is to be hoped, is gone by, when any defence would be necessary of the ‘liberty of the press’ as one of the securities against corrupt or tyrannical government. No argument, we may suppose, can now be needed, against permitting a legislature or an executive, not identified in interest with people, to prescribe opinions to them, and determine what doctrines or what arguments they shall be allowed to hear.”
John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, Penguin Books, 2010 (1ª ed. 1859), pág. 25
