Answer 1

Thats such a positive thing about this country, we also have the least censored internet in the world. True it lets people do bad things sometimes but overall we have a lot of freedom when it comes to media and internet. Should be pleased. The only film stuff that really gets censored now is the really wrong stuff like rape (where it's portrayed as a good thing) and things like that



Films that get banned often get released eventually. Eg: Clockwork Orange, Cannibal Holocaust, etc...
