Bill: IP Public Decency Act of 2372
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperialist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 2373
Description[?]:
| The imperialist party decries the current state of affairs wherein there is no regulation of the standards of films. As such there is nothing stopping a five-year old from watching pornographic films. The government ought to assign ratings to movies, stipulating the age at which people can view those films. This system is imperfect, and will likely be subject to some abuse. However, in the vast majority of cases, and in the worst cases we can ensure that young people are not exposed to pornography, filth, and other matters of decadence. |

| Message | We would back this. A softly softly approach is hardly what we need when dealing with filth. What makes Rutanian pornography less horrific than Telamonian? |
