If the review on the classifications guidelines end up banning those works from sale, it doesn't actually stop consumption of it. Manga and anime has widely been available online (official or otherwise), and this will not stop. People will use VPNs to avoid being caught or get around censors. I'm not saying that there is nothing wrong right now, but it feels like a knee-jerk misguided and biased view from a politician.
This feels exactly like that first wave of banned sites that ISPs were forced to do last year. The next day, people were already finding ways to get around it and it felt like such a waste of money.
