Censorship and Legal Responsibilities

As my film trailer is aged 17+, censorship will play a huge part in this. Censorship is already a hugely debated subject in media, and most of us have an opinion on what people should or shouldn't see on TV screens, meaning we all have some form of input on this subject. Governments play a role in regulating this by having censorship in the first place, so that there isn't anything NSFW or inappropriate for audiences that it may not be suitable for. Compared to countries such as China and Korea, places like UK and USA have far less strict regulation and censorship rules put in place, although there are still cases of films being banned or having only edited versions made available to the public, for instance, 'A Serbian Film'. Because of examples such as this, age certificates exist for films, video games and even websites. There is also the fact that some companies could edit out certain scenes in order to achieve a younger age certificate, so that they can then have a larger audience and more profit as a result.
