One of the draft policies ready to be implemented by the Film and Publications Board (FPB), is that it will not allow any digital content to be distributed in South Africa without the organizations consent. The organizations policy even applies to major online corporations such as Google. It will even go as far as taking legal action against bloggers who post online videos and clips.
According to http://mybroadband.co.za/news/ here is the reason for such strict supervision:
"The primary mandate of the FPB, formerly a censorship board under the apartheid regime, is to protect children from exposure to disturbing and harmful material, and premature exposure to adult experiences; to provide consumer advice to enable adults and the children in their care to make informed viewing, reading and gaming choices; and to make the use of children in and the exposure of children to pornography punishable."
Another aspect of this policy is the payment fee for outside digital distributors set by FPB. Once the fee is payed and the content follows the guidelines of the FPB it will be set on display in South Africa. However according to http://mg.co.za/
"“In all classification decisions for digital content, the online distributor must ensure that the board’s classification decision and logo is conspicuously displayed on the landing page of the website, the website catalogue of the online distributor’s landing page of the website, at the point of sale and during the streaming of the digital content,” the document states."
Therefore, with this policy in place FPB will still remain in full control of all online based content in South Africa. This payment applies to anyone who tries to distribute any online games, videos, blogs, films etc. via the internet. The policy is non-negotiable and perpetrators will be vulnerable to immediate legal action The bill as of now is at it's final stages and was sent to the minister of communications in August 2014. If approved it is ready to be enacted in March 2016 and the censorship of the internet in South Africa will begin.
