"Why shouldn't governments be allowed to censor age-inappropriate material, hostile propaganda, or outright lies?"

I've changed it to cover the materials you have mentioned, is there anything else that I should change?

I just don't see this making Quorum

Is there any specific parts that cause that, or is it just the entire thing?

Welcome to the General Assembly. Generally it is suggested to participate in other debates prior to attempting to author your own proposal.

A quick look points out several concerns. I'm glad for your intent but there are a lot of issues that can't really but put into words. One must have a critical eye for writing that can only be honed by critically analyzing the work of others.
Just a few that I can put into words:
-"an international news source" means that only one source must be uncensored. So this single newspaper shall not have any information redacted and the single paper will be available only in the bottom of a vault in a top secret government facility. That's full compliance.
-The IFMEA is not necessary. Compliance is mandatory for all members of the General Assembly and while adding enforcement mechanisms is great, just saying "this will be enforced" does not add anything.
-Your exempts clause is unacceptable as it codifies in international law the right of governments to erase most criticism.

OOC: I'd question how necessary this is. We already have Freedom of Expression, Freedom of the Press, and Freedom to Read and Learn.

I think I have fixed some things. Is there anything else, or should I focus on closing the loopholes.

I believe you should pay attention to what Dark Star posted as you are jumping into duplicating what has already been legislated on.

So should I just mark this as [SCRAPPED]?

[ABANDONED] is the most common but either works
