A list of notable extremist materials and their incidents are shown here:

* In August 2022, American YouTuber Alex Harrison (better known as Alex the JTPTMG2007 Hater) was listed as a "terrorist and an extremist" due to promoting hatred and violent threats against Juno Teh Planet the Mapping Guy 2007 (Benjamin Posada). All of his videos are banned from being displayed on television for this, notable instances include:
	+ On 18 August 2022, Alex uploaded a video titled "*Juno Teh Planet the Mapping Guy 2007's Email Reveal*" in which he shows Benjamin's email. Within hours, Benjamin saw it and deemed it to be "extremist and doxxer activity", the next day on the 19th of August, Benjamin quickly took action and quickly filed a Privacy Takedown Complaint ordering the video to be removed immediately, YouTube responed and deleted the video giving Alex a privacy strike pursuant to YouTube's Community Guidelines.
	+ On 30 July, 2022, Alex uploaded a video titled "*Alex Rants: Juno Teh Planet the Mapping Guy 2007*", Benjamin saw it and found it to be a "very offensive and illegal act under the censorship law of the Gerryscute GEB Empire". Benjamin quickly commented in a rage and imposed a sanction against him. Benjamin also reported him to YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki via Email regarding the situation calling for Alex to be immediately terminated and banned from YouTube. Susan has not responded yet.

## Laws regarding sexual or pornographic content

The *Censorship* segment of *The Empirical Code* has a section which states that people under 18 are not allowed to publicly display 18+ rated media on any public property of the empire, so 18+ rated media can only be shown on the insides of buildings, and not on outside television or screen projectors. Anyone who shows a minor 18+ rated material will face a prison sentence of up to ten years or a fine of up to 1,000,000 gerrycoins ($100,000 USD).

According to the *Age Ratings* section of the *Censorship* segment, a P is used on the content descriptor box to incidate that the work is pornographic and therefore cannot be shown on television. Gerryscute GEB refuses to broadcast pornographic content on any of their state-owned channels and can only be accessed via the state owned streaming service Gerryscute GEB+, which hides them by default.

Most retailer stores refuse to stock 18+ rated content on their stores, making them banned for sale.

Gerryscute GEB and it's Telecommunications Authorities found that websites relating to Rule 34 were deemed as hosting child pornography and have threatened to block and cease both domains due to this.

Gerryscute GEB refused to publish the *Alphabet Attack* subepisode "Catmint's New Husband" on YouTube due to it's depiction of Catmint and her new husband Mi engaging in sexual tickling after their marriage. Gerryscute GEB would therefore not release the subepisode to YouTube due to fears that many viewers would be disgusted and would almost puke up.

## Laws regarding violence

Any disgusting and or graphic violence would be 18+ rated and would be labelled with the descriptor V9 (where V stands for violence and 9 stands for near-explicit), if the video is too graphic so that it's not suitable for youth under 21, then it would be banned in the empire and accessing it would face jail terms of up to ten years or a fine of up to 1,000,000 gerrycoins ($100,000 USD).

The YouTube and Newgrounds Flash animation titled *Baby Basher* was deemed to violate this law, making it banned in the Gerryscute GEB Empire.

## Trivia

* Gerryscute GEB is very-hypersensitive when it comes to the protection of minors just like YouTube.
