In the coup against Chavez in Venezuala the private TV stations disallowed footage of the opposition to the coup*. In the last US presidential elections protesters were held in 'free speech' areas which didn't get on air or were shown in a negative light. Basically, we're looking at actions (by private individuals and governments) to not only sever people from the outside world but also from their own country.
Psychiatric screening has been going on in the US since WWII - this seems to be a more invasive extension of that.
