High Severity

Absolute Ban on Satirical Commentary

This provision categorically prohibits the use of private facts in parody, skit, or satire in mass media, with no exception for public interest. Satire and parody are core forms of political commentary protected in democratic societies—essential tools for criticizing public figures and holding government accountable. By banning these forms entirely, even when they serve legitimate public interest purposes, the provision creates a severe chilling effect on political speech. The undefined term "entertainment" creates uncertainty about whether any humorous political commentary is permissible, encouraging self-censorship by media outlets and content creators.
