Advertisement bans

samedi 6 novembre 2021 à 01:00

Italy seems to have adopted a law that bans advertisements on the street that "perpetuate gender stereotypes". That is extremely broad censorship, since an ad need not disparage or insult anyone to be banned. It is enough for it to show men and/or women behaving in a customary way. Showing a party where women wear dresses and men wear suits would be forbidden. Any scene in which people are acting in accord with usual Italian sex roles is forbidden. Advertising a romcom, or a James Bond movie, is almost impossible.
