Online Casino Censorship Offends Women
In a bold and controversial move last week, the Australian censors have
announced that all nudity (not just pornography) that involves small breasted
women will be blocked from the country. The Aussie censors are on the hunt for
an effective way to block online casino gambling and child pornography. What’s
really interesting though is the leap that the censors have made between child
pornography and small breasted women – the censors claim that small breasted
women simulate child pornography and are therefore a part of this online casino
and child pornography ban in the country.
To quote a movie though, “them be fighting words.” Several women’s groups in
Australia, and all over the world in fact, have hotly protested this decision by
the Aussie censors as taking the whole situation just a bit to far. Censoring
internet content is already a contentious issue but one that can *maybe* be
justified as a way to more effectively ban online casinos. But the ever present
fear in any type of censorship is that it will be taken to far, and that is just
precisely what has happened in Australia. The Adult Classification Board has
ruled that nude women with A-cups is a “sneaky for of pedophilia” according to
one source.
The women’s groups are outraged but yet having a hard time fighting the
situation right now because the government is so narrow mindedly focused on
blocking the online casinos and child pornography immediately. At this point
objectors are asking that all women in Australia particularly, but also abroad
voice their complaints and send letters to the Censorship Board. |
