Bill: Media Regulation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Kanjoran Socialist 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: April 2180
Description[?]:
| We must regulate certain avenues of media for our citizens. Certain things are published in books or on the internet that are either outright lies or half-truths. Some people would seek to subvert the government or ppublish slanderous material about people, by using these forms of media as propaganda. Why should we allow these things to exist in our state? Something that would weaken us and the people. I say that we shouldn't. |
