I don't know what your job is like, but at mine, I'm accountable to various technical leadership, PMs, UX, and ultimately the client, from which all authority to commit code that goes to production is derived. :) And the FCC is an agent deriving its authority to regulate from legislation and working under elected executive authority. So I'm not sure what the connection with totalitarian dictatorship is.

You write the rules that govern exactly how every aspect of the program runs. If a part of the program runs in a way that your government doesn't approve of, it gets modified or ripped out and replaced with code that does follow the rules exactly. You don't let the code decide for itself whether it should loop or not, you tell it exactly when it should loop and exactly when it should continue. Totalitarian governments don't exist of just one person, either.
