The correct answer is "censored and controlled by the government."

In an authoritarian government, freedom of speech is usually censored and controlled by the government.

Authoritarian governments are absolutists. They grant no freedoms or rights to its citizens. On the contrary, the Dictator or King exert total power, control, and influence over its citizens or subjects.

We have the case of the European monarchies during the Middle Ages, where the King was the most powerful ruler in its lands and through war and conquest, tried to increase their territories.

Absolutist dictators such as Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, or Joseph Stalin are also good examples of authoritarian rulers.
