The work analyzes and denounces the legal framework that supports censorship, aggravated by the approval of the \"gag law\" and the hardening of the Penal Code in 2015. Through emblematic cases such as those of Valtònyc, Altsasu, the Catalan political prisoners, Pablo Hasél, or Cassandra, the authors illustrate how repression can affect citizens in unexpected ways. The book also covers the social response through organizations like No Callarem, Amnesty International, or the Platform for the Defense of Freedom of Information, offering a reflection on the consequences of these policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou, be quiet is a rigorous analysis and an explicit denunciation of the current state of censorship and repression in Spain. The authors examine the legislation that restricts fundamental rights, focusing on the Citizen Security Law (gag law) and the 2015 Penal Code reforms. Based on real and well-known cases—from musicians and Twitter users to activists and political prisoners—the book shows how these laws are applied to criminalize social protest and poverty. Furthermore, it explores the forms of resistance and civic organization that have emerged to combat censorship, such as demonstrations, campaigns, and civil rights defense groups. The work invites reflection on the dire consequences of these dynamics: self-censorship, demobilization, and informational servitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom of expression and censorship in the Spanish state\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the \"gag law\" and the hardening of the Penal Code (2015)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCriminalization of social protest and poverty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReal cases of repression: activists, artists, and political prisoners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial response and civil rights defense organizations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-censorship, demobilization, and control of information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in human rights, civil liberties, and contemporary politics.
