Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to equate video games with pornography

The California Governor and the Attorney General of the State of Jerry Brown demanded that the ban on the sale of video games to minors be restored. The request was sent to the US Supreme Court.

In February, the 9th US Court of Appeals lifted the ban as violating the constitutional amendment on freedom of speech. According to the court, to control access to video games, parental control is sufficient. The court also found that there is no scientific evidence about the negative impact of violent video games on adolescent behavior.

Video game access restrictions were introduced in California in 2005. Game makers from the Entertainment Software Association immediately filed a lawsuit demanding that the ban be lifted. According to Michael D. Gallagher, head of the Association Michael Gallagher, the requirement to restrict access to games is “meaningless,” since video games are divided into age categories in the same way as video films, which allows parents to decide whether or not to buy play to your children.
