Reading the bill, it's pretty insane. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to ban pretty much all sexual content and all depictions of cross dressing, along with proxies and VPNs. I'm pretty sure you couldn't show Monty Python, because they occasionally cross dress in their sketches.

Anticorruption of Public Morals Act. The name alone screams overreach.
