International Classifiers Conference (ICC) 2017
Stockholm, Sweden, 19 – 20 October 2017
At the International Classifiers Conference (ICC) in Stockholm in October 2017, the central topic was the way depictions of sexuality are dealt with. Prior to the conference itself, participating organisations from 23 countries took part in a survey designed to provide some indication of the criteria employed in classifying sexual content in each country and to what end: is nudity an issue, or sexual acts or sexual orientation? Sexualised language, or sex in conjunction with violence?
