And platforms doing standing back flips to appease stupid legislation.
Reminds me of YouTube blocking Blender videos... had other reasons though, don't remember exactly, but it had to do with them not monetizing their videos and really, really bad support.

- caymanjim 6y agoIf you think the legislation is stupid, blame the legislators. Companies have to abide by laws, even stupid ones.
- rbecker 6y agoThey have to abide by them, not enforce them (unless a court order makes them). There's no law against distributing operating systems that allow running of programs that break the law.
