A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#30
Proposed by: Imperium Anglorum
General Assembly Resolution #30 “Freedom of Expression” (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Resolving that it is profoundly immoral to permit corporations and legal persons to lie to consumers,
Believing that society as a whole can have justifiable reasons to restrict expression for public safety and to prevent the consumption or publication of materials that would damage public health, social order, or needless antagonisation,
Seeing that society should have the ability to regulate adverts and their means of distribution, eg prohibiting tobacco advertisements from being shown on childrens' television channels or placing limits on where or what can be depicted in such advertising, and
Confident that there will be a scrambling of legislative efforts to replace this resolution with more appropriate legislation that permits society to protect itself, hereby:
Repeals GA c 30 "Freedom of Expression".

Society can restrict? Or "government?" Society regulates? But for diction, I support this.

Assumes there will be a follow up with no follow up in the WA pipeline and the WA it's repealing is loose enough and open enough that I genuinely don't think it need repealed. Against.
