    This research analyzes the challenges ofmass communication and freedom of expression faced by Teleamazonas during the enforcement of Ecuador's Organic Law of Communication (LOC). The study examines sanctioning resolutions issued by the Superintendence of Information and Communication (SUPERCOM) to understand how the regulatory framework influenced the channel's editorial practices. The specific objectives focused on evaluating Teleamazonas” compliance with the LOC, identifying cases of censorship and self-censorship derived from its application, and analyzing the regulator's performance within the legal framework. The methodology used was documentary analysis, centered on four resolutions related to humorous, news, and entertainment content broadcast by the channel. The results reveal persistent tensions between the social responsibility mandated by the LOC and the full exercise of freedom of expression. Although Teleamazonas argued that its content served informative or humorous purposes, SUPERCOM applied strict criteria that resulted in multiple sanctions. These dynamic created conditions encouraged self-censorship within the media outlet due to the fear of additional penalties. The study concludes that the LOC created an ambiguous and highly punitive regulatory environment that affected the legal certainty of media organizations and limited their editorial autonomy. Teleamazonas, as an emblematic case, highlights the need for a balanced relationship between regulation, social responsibility, and freedom of expression to ensure a democratic, plural, and transparent communication system.
