  Europe Example: During the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, the widespread availability of printed books raised fears among Catholic officials that it would undermine their authority and lead to a loss of control over religious interpretation.

  India Example: In British colonial India during the 19th century, the British administration recognized the power of printed books and feared that they could fuel anti-colonial sentiments and nationalist movements, challenging their rule.
