Title: South African censorship Post by: Trevor on July 24, 2015, 01:20:26 AM I can't believe that our local Film and Publications Board www.fpb.gov.za (http://www.fpb.gov.za) now has draft legislation which, if passed, will allow them to censor the Internet in South Africa! :hatred:
Have we in SA forgotten about the hundreds of films, books, etc which were banned under apartheid? Books like Black Beauty, incidentally. :buggedout: If you feel so moved, please sign the petition to stop this nonsense in its' tracks. https://secure.avaaz.org/en/sa_web_censorship_7/?pv=68&rc=fb (https://secure.avaaz.org/en/sa_web_censorship_7/?pv=68&rc=fb) Title: Re: South African censorship Post by: Skull on July 30, 2015, 06:34:06 AM I can't believe that our local Film and Publications Board [url=http://www.fpb.gov.za]www.fpb.gov.za[/url] ([url]http://www.fpb.gov.za[/url]) now has draft legislation which, if passed, will allow them to censor the Internet in South Africa! :hatred: Have we in SA forgotten about the hundreds of films, books, etc which were banned under apartheid?

It's rough. lol... the link directed me to a 'climate change topic' (I'm not sure why since I see your link is directed to web censorship) |
