I don't think they need to give reasons, just reach consensus.<br>
<br>
You can read the Applicant Guidebook (Module 3) for details.<br>

The truth of the matter is that we just can't roll over and let the Government do what we should do ourselves - as decent citizens and parents.<br>
<br>
The thing about censorship as defined is that it can just as easily be used to silence opponents of the government and other 'undesirables'.<br>

We are still evolving as a society. Media outlets get their advertising dollars through ratings which are derived through readership, listenership and viewship. This is where the holy grail of media is. If we as a society do not feed the Troll then it will wither and die. If we do it will grow strong and eventually come to eat us up.

Ali,<br>
<br>
Why did your citizens/contrypeople pass a constitution requiring media regulation? Under Article 34 (5) viz. parliament shall enact legislation that provides for the establishment of a body, which shall set media standards and regulate and monitor compliance with those standards.<br>
<br>
Then media regulation would appear to be a constitutional requirement/obligation, or would I be wrong?<br>
<br>
