ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Illiberal democracy

Illiberal democracy is a type of democracy that is not fully free - it still involves citizens voting for their leaders, but their rights to free speech, free press, and other civil liberties are limited. This means that the government can limit or restrict things like the internet, what people can say publicly, what can be published in the media, etc. Some countries that are illiberal democracies are Turkey, Hungary, and Russia. In these countries, the government has a lot of power and makes it difficult to criticize the government or speak out against its policies.
