Bill: Cleaning the Airwaves - Child Protection in Media
Details
Submitted by[?]: Citizens for Moral Unity
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: April 2438
Description[?]:
| Our nation's airwaves have no protections in place for children; this state of affairs allows these vulnerable minds to be exposed to images and ideas that they are in no way prepared for, in a way that may signifigantly set back their social development. We propose to ban pornography and sexually explicit material on television, though we would continue to allow nudity at this point, as it does not inherently convey the strong messages that pornography does. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The government's policy regarding sexually explicit material on broadcast television.
Old value:: All sexually explicit material is allowed on television.
Current: Nudity on television is banned.
Proposed: Sexually explicit material is not allowed, but nudity that is not sexually explicit is.

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
