As for the thread issue, from what I've read on ANN it has more to do with government dysfunction than the less obvious rampant censorship the industry is fearing. Also, the person who proposed the amendment and kept trying to pass it wrote a novel(?) years ago that would be considered obscene understand the amendment has asserted that anyone who likes what they want to censor has "defective DNA".
It's not far of a leap for some people to connect it to the videogame violence issue currently being decided in the California Supreme Court.
That's my opinion on the issue at least.
