Example

One way in which the regulation of digital media is effective is in the film industry. All films in the UK need to have been rated by the BBFC which looks out for such things as level of violence, language, upsetting scenes/ images. Based on the content film will be give an age appropriate rating. For example the Dark Knight was given a 12A rating most due to its violent content (such as the scene where the Joker slams a guys head into a pencil). Spectre was initially given a 15 rating but after they removed some scene it was dropped to 12A. Many people think that regulation is important because people can be influenced by what they see in the media. They can become desensitised to the levels of violence and act out what they see. The media effects debates suggests that we can be directly influence by what we see. 

However film regulation is not effective because people still complained about Spectre upon its release with people still suggesting that it needed to be a 15. An example of this is the torture scene that involved a drill going into james bonds head.
