Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Sex-themed e-books given curfew in Germany
Before anything, a new law should be enforceable.
Only after it’s enforced, its validity and effectiveness can be assessed.
However, lawmakers sometimes seem to make rules that are hardly enforceable,
mainly for face-saving purpose, leaving those are going to be affected stranded.
In Germany, a new rule has been set to
limit adult e-book sales only during the midnight, intending to protect the
youth from the exposure of such adult contents. Retailers are now struggling to
find a way to enforce the rule. However, kids will soon find ways to maneuver
the rule. This could make those adult e-books somehow more interesting and valuable
to kids, just like smoking or drinking.
Enjoy reading and learning about this highly
controversial German rule.
