8. Rules of the system
Altering broadcast rules to silence crowd reactions—such as withholding boos or protests—reconfigures the system’s information channels, granting organizers the power to curate what millions witness in real time. Because these rules govern the flow and framing of political events, changing them can shift civic engagement and public discourse more profoundly than any superficial production tweaks.
