Well, as far as I'm concerned they would just have to continue to apply...

TheBoost said:But no one has any restriction placed on them. None.

My opinion of this would be different if there had been. But there is no restriction. No government action. No political campaign. No new rules. Just a private entertainment company voluntarily responding to a concern from their primary audience that allows them to better serve their customers.

I understand, and that is of course a fair point. I do think that when one company has been convinced to do this sort of thing it makes it easier for people to convince another, and eventually people take it as so obvious that such things ought to be done that they are inclined to legislate, or not oppose legislation when it is, almost inevitably in my view, proposed.

Now, Peppa the Pig is a fairly innocuous example of this sort of thing really, so it's hard to make a case on the back of it without sounding absurd; but there are examples of a focus group -- or whatever form of lobby -- convincing a company to make this sort of change. Thereafter, people who did not object -- or did not feel their disapproval was sufficient grounds to change something for everyone else -- no longer had the opportunity to watch something in its original form; which is a form of restriction, albeit an indirect one, because they no longer have the choice.
