| Message | Since the distribution of excessively violent material to the underaged is illegal, this bill would essentially not alter policy on such material. It may be that the providers are more directly pursued with regards criminal offences, rather than simply arbitrary blocking. |

| Random quote: "The Revolution needs to progress. We as humans need to evolve into higher beings through better moral virtues. And we can achieve that if we clean ourselves from the immoral. Those who go against the Revolution, go against human progress and must be freed in the most humane way possible. That is why we introduced the guillotine." - Maximus Robertson, former Davostani revolutionary |
