Australia the land once known for open policies is now trying to shut its eyes by permitting censorship on online casino gambling and websites exposing small breasted nude women. The Adult classification Board of Australia says that women with A-cup size breasts are a sneaky way for pedophilia and it has be considered as child pornography. This new law would mean that films from Hollywood which pass the scanner of the US censorship will end up being blocked in Australia.
This draconic law is offensive to women born with small breasts as they will be discriminated against as compared to those with large breasts who will be classified in different category. According to the new law the movies of Keira Knightley though rated under PG-13 will get banned for Australian viewers as it will be considered as possible perversion according to the new censorship rule. This Australian Censor Board comprises of a small group of government bureaucrats whose decisions pass down without any review hence the new censorship is considered controversial.
Apart from this the censor board also considers that female orgasms and the accompanied ejaculation as obscene and recommends blocking them as well. This kind of arbitrary rules goes against the spirit and development of internet which is considered as an open platform on which users could possibly get what they ask for. Critics had already feared this kind of unilateral censorship which will cripple the growth and progress of the media at large. This new decision by the Australian Censor Board is considered as short sighted at best without any consideration for individual freedom of choice. The online gambling industry in Australia is waiting for the public opinion to consolidate which will ultimately influence a much open policy and mitigate any short sightedness by the Australian Censor Board. Many women’s groups in Australia have also expressed their objection to the new rules of the Australian Censor Board.
