Bill: Media Regulation Parity
Details
Submitted by[?]: Leviathan 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: October 2331
Description[?]:
| Our content regulations, extremely loose as they may be, are made for the Malivian viewer, not producer of television programs. There is no reason to punish Malivian broadcasters by saddling them with regulations we don't apply to foreign companies. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on industry and subsidies to industrial operations.
Old value:: The government acts as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services.
Current: The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries.
Proposed: The state owns the commanding heights of the economy and all major industries, but private ownership is allowed in the minor industries.
Article 2
Proposal[?] to change International media content regulation.
Old value:: International media content is free from regulation
Current: International media content undergoes the same regulation as domestic media content.
Proposed: International media content undergoes the same regulation as domestic media content.

| Message | Does the MDP even bother to stay current with Malivian laws? They are, after all, posted for any to see. Domestic media does in deed have some very loose, senisible regulations that we are proposing to extend to all media shown in the country, regardless of national source. |
