I read "Censorship and Silence" where Eco discusses censorship through silence but also through noise. On the one hand, these ideas on not new. On the other hand, he expresses so clearly that these types of censorship have occurred in the past, continue to occur at his writing, and definitely continues to this day. Very well-written, but also depressing. His solution doesn't seem attainable in this era.

The second essay, Ur-Facism, lays out 14 characteristics of a Facist state. It is so depressing that the US is 14/14. Although Eco does present a bit of hope in that this is a historic cycle.
