The Australian Sex Party is up in arms over what it claims as censorship from anti-filter campaigner Google. The search engine company reclassified the party's lampoon advertisement "Jerk Choices" as Adult Only content in spite the fact that it has already aired on primetime on free to air television.
The campaign, which is meant to highlight wowsers in Australian society, had already appeared on shows such as The 7pm Project and Gruen Nation. The advertisement was also used in an AdWords campaign through Google.
Fiona Patten, the Sex Party's president, says that the advertisement, which had been considered suitable for general release, was suddenly reclassified as Adults Only two days before the election. Patten says that the change hurt the campaign's viewing numbers.
