As a teenager I was fascinated about censorship. I could not believe how the US went crazy of the nipple slip of Janet Jackson at the superbowl. They even implemented that live shows were not live anymore to prevent similar things to happen. And also swearing is censored in a ridiculous way. I think kids must learn pretty early what the f word is.
In Germany there is no censorship of swearing. Also in public broadcasting there is swearing and nudity.
There is soft porn in German TV at
starting at 11 p.m. Channels that almost all households receive. Hardcore porn is not allowed though not even in pay TV. Which is ironic because nowadays it is only one click away from you.
There are many channels where you can see boobs quite often also at daylight. I think in seldom cases one can even see penises and vaginas at daylight. However, I think the German guidelines usually prohibit that. But sometimes the channels don't care or they forget to censor it like in the Fantastic Move that I watched as a teenager at 4 p.m. and well there was a pleasant surprise for my teenager me in that movie.
There is a censorship website that protocolls all the cernsorship. But it is website registered in Austria. Because if they registered in Germany they would get into trouble. But I think mostly because of the splatter they document.
In Germany we are way stricter on violence though. The Walking Dead for example in not available in an uncensored version. Nowhere. Not even on DVD or the internet.
I can remember I read different stories about it. On the internet I read there is a strict censorship in US TV. But I was young and my research skills were very medicore. There is a Malcom in the Middle episode where the kids watch something sex related at night. My theory is stuff like that is allowed in pay TV. And certain broadcasting stations. Or in cable TV. However, I never understood that. Isn't cable also available to anyone. Please someone can someone lecture me on that. I lost my interest in TV many many years ago and I forgot so much about it since.
