O artigo analisa o quadro jurídico da censura à imprensa na ditadura militar (1964-1985). Com esse intuito, sustenta que, fundada na Doutrina da Segurança Nacional e com o objetivo de conter o avanço do comunismo internacional, a censura à imprensa: (i) baseou-se em uma legalidade ambígua, marcada por práticas institucionais não oficializadas e sigilosas e por uma ausência de formalização expressa dos órgãos competentes para sua implementação; e (ii) ainda que com alguma resistência inicial, foi chancelada por decisões judiciais, em particular do Supremo Tribunal Federal, que reconheceu a impossibilidade de contestação às proibições da censura, haja vista estarem acobertadas pelas normas do Ato Institucional nº 5, de 13 de dezembro de 1968.

ABSTRACT
The article analyzes the legal framework of press censorship during the military dictatorship (1964-1985). For that purpose, argues that, based on the National Security Doctrine and aiming to contain the advance of international communism, the press censorship: (i) relied on an ambiguous law, characterized by secret and unofficial institutional practices and by a lack of explicit formalization in the competent bodies for its implementation, and (ii) although with some initial resistance, was legitimated by court decisions, in particular those from the Supreme Court, which recognized the impossibility of challenging the censorship rules, considering they were covered up by the standards of the Institutional Act nº 5 of December 13, 1968.
