This is a true story that describes how awful politicians are.n Finland during the 1980s, film censorship was primarily carried out by the National Board of Film Classification (Elokuvalautakunta). The board was responsible for determining whether a film was suitable for public screening, based on its content and
Back in 1988, the idiot politicians in Finland created something called "videolaki", meaning simply "The law concerning videos" or "Video Law".
This disgusting law was effective until year 2000.
Finnish Wikipedia explains all the details, use translator software
if you do not speak Finnish:

Put shortly, the stupid policians (like the Christians and the Leftist party) decided that no K18 ("Kielletty alle 18-vuotiailta,
Forbidden for those under 18 years old) video tapes could be
allowed in Finland. This meant not only Video Nasties (like in the UK),
but also quite "regular" films like Rambo - First Blood, Predator
or Death Wish.
That to me is a clear sign that we should really hate most politicians.
I will never forgive them for tormenting movie lovers for 12 years
during 1988-2000.

Overall, while film censorship was a significant issue in Finland during the 1980s, it was relatively mild compared to some other countries during the same time period. Today, film classification in Finland is still carried out by the NationalAudiovisual Institute (KAVI), but the guidelines and criteria for assessing films have evolved to be more liberal and flexible.
