Does new regulations belong in democracy?

New regulations should be advised to be in use in the modern age. This is because with new ways of distribution through media sites and online shopping means anyone that can access a device that can  connect to the internet could buy anything online including over aged content such as a 13 year old buying a PEGI 18 game. However it may be to easy for under aged people buying over aged content, it still hasn't been shown that games can case aggression or any other attribute related to the. furthermore games with the old PEGI regulations can be wrong for the new generation as what would be classes as fear or violence could be different now with a younger audience being used to action movies and violence. 

Regulations within movies can be difficult as many can be wrongly rated and then been either shown to a too young audience or the film could be wrongly rated older, so new regulations within a democracy would be a good idea but with going on the theme of democracy now i think if the government were to change anything they should have a public vote for what it should do and what the new regulations should be. I think this would be a great idea because everyone has their own opinions so then it would be a lot easier for people to speak about what they think will be right. Also younger people should be ale to vote as well i say 15+ should be able to vote as this would effect them and the younger generations dramatically as it would mean what they could see and access or not. 

With the modern age we all live in new regulations should be put in place but not drastically and they shouldn't be changed, they should be updated and seen over about what could be done to help with new technology and new ways of living.  

  

Livingstone and Lunt

They studied the work of OFCOM and regulation, there is an underlying struggle in the UK regulation between the needs to further the interests of citizens ( by offering protection from harmful or offensive material ) and the need to further the interests of consumers ( by ensuring choice, value for money, and market competition ). The increasing power of global media conglomerates have but regulation to risk.

BBFC ( BRITISH BOARD OF FILM CLASSIFICATION ) in 1984, the video recordings act put BBFC in charge of classifying all videos for home use. This is a governed by law and mandates that the BBFC ensure that all films are classified for appropriate audiences and show nothing harmful to the vulnerable, in particular young children, it is against the law to sell films without age ratings.

There is an argument that 'red top newspapers' such as the sun exploit the idea of free speech, the sun has developed a famously opinionated, confrontational and brash style which they believe appeals to their target audiences.

In the BBC news article today the headline was ' Italy struggles to cope with coronavirus lock down' the BBC achieve to sensationalise the virus by saying ' lock down ' which then suggests to the audience that its a major risk and that we should all be worried and fear the worse. Also they say that ' Italy struggles to cope ' again making the situation seem a lot worse then it actually is, this will make the audiences go into panic and read more about it as now they are draw in by it as they are scared and in fear if they get the virus. headlines like this is what is making the population go into a panic about stocking up their shelves and buying stores out right just so they can be prepared for when the self-isolate. The coronavirus situation is not a big enough threat as the media makes it out to be, in retrospect the virus is mainly feared because of what the media is influencing the public about. Also the whole page is about the virus and if you have the app on your phone for the news they have now a separate category for the virus.

The idea of 'press freedom' reflects the political context role of newspapers in the development of an educated electorate in the historical period in which mass democracy developed. Its expression in the freedom of anyone to set up a newspaper reflects the economic context of free market capitalism. these two combine to restrict regulation to legal (e.g. the libel law) and self-regulatory approaches.

- because no one knew about the virus in china the public thought to believe that it was safe, and then the doctor that brought up the problem of the virus but then he just died.

- The communist ways that the Chinese act and believe is why the virus spread and because of they couldn't speak about it at all.

- they restricted the press talk by silencing peoples voice and 'exiling' them and telling the country that they were caught with 'treason'.

- stops improvements to anything as every debate or action about to take place is governed by one voice or one view.

Political debates about the role of disinformation on online news and the influence of dark advertising ( especially political advertising ) may lead to some attempts to regulate social media companies, who are already ( by 2018 ) responding to these criticisms in ways that bring them closer to traditional publishers rather than transparent online platforms. Facebook, for example, has recruited staff to filter content and has introduced a system for throwing light on dark political advertising. However, the lack of centralised regulation of social media companies means that different companies have different response.

media audiences 
The cultural impact of minecraft has been phenomenal, initial success was due to word of mouth such as early jungle book and most other games. continuing success due to audience sharing mods and game footage on social media, notably YouTube. different versions of minecraft have been made such as the fallout, skyrim, marvel and star wars.

Minecraft has been able to maintain its audience for more than a decade because of its flexible design of the game such as the user created platform allows people to create things such as mods which completely can change the game giving players to use vehicles and different types of objects or they can completely overhaul the graphics and the textures of the blocks and objects in the game making it either more realistic or more fantasy. Now because the games so flexible there is a limitless feeling to it where the player can do anything they want such as build whatever they want or be whoever they want. Its has also had major updates in the past year which help the game be relevant after 10 years as it draws in them old players who want to try out the new updates or even new people that have heard of or seen the new update and wanted to try it for themselves. YouTubers also help to keep the game alive as they play all the different types of minecraft making mini games and other challenges to do whilst on the game such as they could have a mod that gave them new crafting blocks that would allow them to make trains, the YouTuber would do  a series on that if his/hers audience wanted to see more which than advertises the game and the games flexibility within the game itself making the game look and feel very more open and willing for new changes with new prosumers.
