Apples Ridiculous Censorship of the Nudity in Papers, Please

The award-winning border agent simulator Papers, Please is coming to iOS, but not without a few changes. According to a tweet from creator Lucas Pope, the nudity in the game had to be removed because Apple deemed it pornographic content.

Now, you might be thinking, Sure, Apple has a blanket ban on pornographic content. Whats the problem? First off, Papers, Pleases pixelated, low-res nuditywhich is seen when you use a body-scanning X-ray machine on the citizens who wish to enter your countryis hardly pornography, neither titillating nor sensual. Second, Apple is happy to sell you movies on iTunes that have actual naked humans, so it has a double standard for games.

But the biggest issue is that removing Papers, Pleases nudity defangs the games artistic impact. Papers, Please is about the degradation to which those crossing the border into a totalitarian nation are subjected, and the bleakness of working in that situation.

To be fair, the nudity in Papers, Please can be disabled in the original game. But in that case, its a choice that can be made by the player. Do you want to let entrants maintain the dignity of keeping their underwear on, or do you want your scanners to expose them fully?

The nudity exists to drive home the point of how dehumanizing and invasive the use of nude body scanners at checkpoints iswhether at the border of the glorious fictional nation of Arstotzka, or in the security line at JFK.

'Big Bang Theory' Axed as China Steps Up Censorship of Overseas TV Online

China is stepping up censorship of foreign TV shows streamed online and has ordered leading video streaming websites to stop showing the popular showsThe Good Wife,The Big Bang Theory,NCISandThe Practice.

The order has come down from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television and the watchdog has not given any reason for the ruling.

The popular showThe Blacklisthas also had episodes that criticized the Chinese government cut recently.

As reported inThe Hollywood Reporterearlier this month, SAPPRFT said it was planning to increase censorship of foreign content and warned that online companies such as Youku, Tencent and Sohu would have to closely vet content before making it available to stream.

Generally, the online streaming sites have operated with far more freedom to show edgy material such asThe Walking DeadandHouse of Cardsthan the traditional media such as TV and cinema.

Its long been baffling how the government allows a show likeHouse of Cardsto be seen in China, particularly the second season which had a storyline critical of Chinese government corruption.

However, it was generally suspected that theKevin Spacey-starring depiction of sleaze, debauchery, graft and general malfeasance in Washington chimed with an acceptable message on the dangers of democratic institutions.

China's ambassador to the U.S.,Cui Tiankai,has said he has seen every episode ofHouse of Cards, which includes the line Maos China is dead!

The state news agency Xinhua wrote of howTHR's coverage of the apparent crackdownhad caused thousands of Chinese fans to protest online at a perceived blow against freedom of choice -- another sign of the surging popularity of Hollywood shows in China.

Meanwhile, the Chinese web giant Sina.com has made repeated apologies for allowing pornography onto its sites, which has led to it having its licenses for Internet publication and audio and video dissemination revoked.
