In the Philippines, cybercrime legislation before the parliament would outlaw anything deemed obscene or indecent.

The broadcast of material deemed obscene or indecent can leave U.S. TV networks open to fines.

Last month, three theatres were shut down in Multan after their dancing shows were deemed obscene.

Last week, police briefly detained two musicians, including one of Tanzania's most popular singers, after they posted video clips that authorities deemed obscene.
