Censorship by proxy is the effort to suppress information by means other than criminalizing it or destroying it. It is a form of indirect censorship in which governments pressure private intermediaries, such as Internet service providers, social media platforms, payment processors, broadcasters, publishers, or web hosting services, to restrict or deny access to content.
