(Reuters) - Governments cannot ban the sale or rental of violent video games to minors because it would violate free-speech rights, the U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday in its first ruling in a video game case.
Seems it's all about lobbying, to increase those profit margins. But, if you are a minor you are restricted to what movie you want to see. Movie ratings favor violence to be more acceptable than sexual content, if you ask me both should be treated equally. If it were really a violation of free-speech rights, then nothing should be bleeped on tv or in music, kids should be able to have free access to prono. Corporations have far more threatening power than the government, and we should fear corporations to govern us, and act in the way we prohibit our government.
