To be fair, the US government does engage in similar things. The DoD lending equipment for film only if the script is favorable enough.

- sneak 7y agoFortunately you can still release/publish films in the US that are critical of the DoD (provided you don’t use classified material to do so, such as in the case of Collateral Murder, because then, legal or not, they will do their best to torture you to death). Laura Poitras, for example, is still basically free, having released the film about Snowden. I am not so sure that is the same thing as revoking a business license for saying something the government doesn’t like published.
- lonelappde 7y agoCalling that "similar" is absolutely ridiculous. Propaganda is much less bad than wholesale banning unflattering speech.
- himinlomax 7y agoIt's similar in the same way giving people stuff if they do what you want is similar to breaking their knees when they don't.
