Censorship and your Nation

Postby Kim Sung Nam » Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:32 pm

Censorship is just about everywhere in the world, from the bleeping of bad words on to the ban of critisism of government.

What are some examples of censorship in your nation? If there is no Censorship in your nation, say so.

Have you ever read "1984?" :twisted:
The goldfish crackers will win. Do you know why they smile? Because when they get inside you they start eating you from the inside out.

Grandtaria: "I would rather live my life each day thinking there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than to live my thinking that there isn't and die to find out there is."
Conservative Morality: "When in Rome, do as the Romans. When out of Rome, do as the Romans anyway, it's not like anyone is ballsy enough to piss off Rome."

Finally fixed: The thread may be gone, but I'm still a "To Hell with This'er!," damnit! :D

Virtually non-existant. Fraud and Libel are illegal, but these laws are usually only enforced when someone reports a violation.

It would be much appreciated if you consolidated all these posts into one, and add to it if you think of another. It would be much more preferable than the constant adding of new ones in separate posts which clutter the thread.

As to the thread, it depends on the state, but for the most part we censor nothing.

The only thing under a blanket censor by the Hodori government is military secrets. Everything else is on a case-by-case basis within the individual territories of Hodori. Very little of that "everything else" is actually censored.

Morally, the government of Nouvelle Rhodes does not censor anything but we provide information on media according to the RMRA (Rhodian Media Rating Association). Children still have the right to view or purchase this media, but the information on it is there.
Regarding classified government information, however, we keep top secret information from the public for national security reasons.

We have found some parts of Mama's Memory have been edited, supposedly to remove scary stuff.

[Mama adds: My kids don't need to see things that they don't know how to handle. It's bad enough there are pedobears out in the woods; we don't need them in our homes, too.]
