S.

SUPREME COURT Free Speech and Video Games

The state of California has enacted a state statute prohibiting the selling or renting of violent

video games to minors and kids. Moreover, imposed a civil punishment of up to $1,000 for any

violation of the legislation. The statute applies to games where there is killing, murdering,

dismembering, maiming, or abusing sexually a picture containing a human. However, video

game communities and people interested or working in the video games domain sued to prevent

the legislation from being enforced, claiming that the state law violated their constitutional free

speech rights. And in this case, the Supreme Court stated that the California measure violated the

First Amendment's Free Speech Clause. We can see that the U.S Supreme Court has applied

the incorporation. And held that the fundamental guarantees contained in the Bill of Rights are

applicable to state and local government action. We can also see that this is a kind of obscene

speech, which means that It is not protected by the First Amendment's Freedom of Speech

Clause and may be prohibited by the government. Personally, I think that the U.S Supreme Court

is right, and indeed the state of California has violated the First Amendment's Freedom of

Speech Clause. Because when a new and distinct medium of communication appears, the

fundamental principles of free speech and the press do not change. However, I also believe that

those brutal video games should be banned for minors since they influence a lot their character

and have a bad impact on their behavior.
