In the XXI century we continue to censorship and Brazil may join Venezuela in banning violent video games, or just those that “affect the country’s customs, aion kinah, faiths or symbols” among others.
The bill, initiated by Senator Valdir Raupp has already been approved by the Education Commission, and the next step is to pass a vote in the Brazilian Commission on Constitution and Justice.
If successful it would “stop the manufacture, distribution, import, trading and custody, video game storage affecting the customs and traditions of Aion look a likes, their religion, creeds, religions and symbols”, with penalties of 1 to 3 years imprisonment for those who flout the law.
