[Itnews]Classification board seeks to censor iPhone apps

[5entinel]

The Australian Classification Board has written to Government expressing concerns that mobile phone applications are being made available in Australia without being subject to a ratings process.
Whilst movies and computer games are subject to ratings (G, PG, M etc) from the Classification Board, the many thousands of games released as mobile apps on smartphone platforms such as the Apple iPhone bypass the process.

Real bad, why don't they give their citizens some freedom.

Did Australia get their Classification Board members from Nth Korea or something?

This "Australian Classification Board" needs a stern talking to. With a sledge hammer.

People like this know deep down inside that they are absolutely worthless, so they must constantly come up with new ways to give themselves worth, otherwise they may be tempted to end it all one day by OD'ing on Care-Bears marathons.

are you kidding me? How about they do some actual police work and catch the guy or just let it go. Where is the logic and reason?
