Detailed Solution

Press freedom entails that opposing views can be expressed.
"Freedom of the press" refers to the freedom for anyone to publish or write whatever they wish, including opposing views. Hence, if government regulations are unpopular with the nation's citizens, they can openly criticise and oppose them. During the French monarchy, the French people were denied fundamental liberties, including the freedom of free speech. They needed the King's censors' approval before they could print anything. They were only allowed to publish or write about anything that supported the current government; they were not allowed to criticise the reigning monarch. However, the repeal of the censorship legislation restored the fundamental right of expression to France's citizenry.
