Gay Cops to Be Banned

police

Peru has announced that it will ban homosexuals from the police force for damaging the image of the institution. The law is one of several new regulations put forward by the Interior Minister, Mercedes Cabanillas. Ms Cabanillas is trying to shake up the institution, which has a dismal reputation among the general public. But critics say some of the new laws, especially those regarding sexual orientation or activity, are unconstitutional. The law states that any police officer who has sexual relations with someone of the same gender will be indefinitely suspended from the police force. The same applies to officers who have extra-marital relations - their actions are also deemed to cause scandal and denigrate the institution's image. They are among a raft of new regulations, which also include provision for sacking police officers who accept bribes, organise or take part in strikes and protest marches. Ms Cabanillas' strong-arm tactics have earned her some public backing and the nickname "Thatcher" in the Peruvian media, after the former Conservative British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. Traditional machismo means openly homosexual police men are extremely scarce, but gay rights activists are growing in strength and this new law will provoke a debate.

You Tube Works A Ban

YouTube announced on Tuesday that it was cracking down on "sexually suggestive" videos in a bid to clean up the popular video-sharing website.

In a blog posting, YouTube, which already bans pornography, said it would be enforcing a "stricter standard for mature content" and "tightening the standard for what is considered 'sexually suggestive.'" "Videos with sexually suggestive (but not prohibited) content will be age-restricted, which means they'll be available only to viewers who are 18 or older," the Google-owned website said. YouTube said videos which contain sexually suggestive content or profanity would no longer appear on its lists of "Most Viewed" or "Top Favorited" videos.

The Internet's top video-sharing site also said it would step up enforcement of rules banning misleading descriptions in the tags and titles of a video.

Some YouTube users have been known to give videos misleading titles such as "sexy" in a bid to increase the view counts of a particular video.

YouTube, which receives 13 hours of video from users every minute, said repeat violaters of the new rules will have their accounts terminated.
