Even here you see the problem clearly: USA.
I don't live in America. I live in Europe. Trump, wrong US political correctness, nudity and nipples are not dangerous here but nevertheless the big US platforms dictate on a global level what is correct and what not to us. Big US companies say to rest of the world what is okay to censor and what not. Why should I care when I'm not living in the USA and I'm not an US citizen? I should not be affected but nevertheless I am affected.
- zepto 6y ago“nevertheless the big US platforms dictate on a global level what is correct and what not to us” This makes little sense to me. Who is preventing you from saying what, to whom?
- elephantcake 6y agoFB: Being against vaccine will be censored (although it's not censored by the state you are living in). FB: Torrent links cannot be send by their messenger (although not censored by the state you are living ing) to other people. FB: NSFW links cannot be send by their messenger. FB: Nipples are dangerous and censored away, even from art (although no age restriction on that topic in the country you are living in) Instagram: Nipples are super dangerous. FB, Instagram, Twitter: Showing weapons, violence and sometimes dead people is not censored although forbidden by the country you live in!! Apple Store: Pro Sex apps and sex education apps censored and banned globally although not forbidden in your country. Google Play Store: Pro Sex apps and sex education apps censored and banned globally although not forbidden in your country. Google Images: NSFW images cannot be found (although no problem in your country). By contrast no problem in Yandex Images. And Trump censorship: Major US platforms decided to ban him and political related persons on social media platforms and I only scratch my head why they do that without any US jurisdictional order on a global level. You see... there are countries which are sometimes more free in some topics and sometimes more restrictive than USA if you like it or not. However the general worldview and political correctness of USA is applied above national laws to countries abroad through private US companies by their own rules. I'm not anti US... I'm just hating this cultural copy&paste which is happening because of this companies.
- zepto 6y agoLiterally none of those are examples of anyone stopping you from saying want you want to anyone else.
