| Message | Agreed. |
| Date | 01:34:44, November 08, 2005 CET | From | Aldurian Moderates | To | Debating the Media De-regulation Act |
| Message | There is a difference between a private individuals freedom of speech and a corperation's pursuit of advertisement. Plus, this law does nothing to ensure the validity of said advertisment. |

| Message | I understand the concern of the moderates. However, this law does not prohibit sanction against false representation (exemple: a vendor shows a price that is different of the one in store) and custommer protection laws continues to be enforceable. Also, it is still possible to sue for slander. |

| Message | Also there is already a piece of legislation that says that no false material may be advertised. |

| Message | Subliminal messaging? Is this covered anywhere? Just want to make sure... |
