Details
Submitted by[?]: Cystiȝ Partei (Liberal Party)
Status[?]: passed
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 3937
Description[?]:
| Prologue: We find it disgusting that the government can own and control the nations media. Even going as far as censoring information they don't like, we'll be repealing all anti-free speech laws that affect the media. Articles. 1. All government owned radio stations are to be sold to private companies or made independent of the government. 2. All government owned TV stations are to be sold to private companies or made independent of the government. 3. The government can only censor false and hate speech messages presented on TV, radio or other media outlets. 4. The TV is free to show sexually explicit and nudity on TV for as long as they are shown after 6pm every day. This is to prevent children from watching these, but still have the liberty to distribute them. |
