- saubeidl 11mo agoThe content policy is ideology, that's my point. It's not some neutral statement, it's a codified ideological creed.
- Linguist6514 11mo agoOk. Then people can use social media sites that match their ideologies. I'm not saying anything against one ideology or the other. I'm saying that people are allowed to have different ideologies, and they shouldn't be shamed or bullied into changing their ideologies because, apparently, Europeans are sexually loose. Meta Platforms Inc. is an American company. Don't like American ideologies? Don't subject yourself to them. Use something else. Decentralyzed social media is pretty popular these days, and it fits better with EU's digital privacy laws anyway. Also, Facebook doesn't need to become a porn site when Porn Hub already has comments.
- saubeidl 11mo agoI agree! Which is why I believe the EU should block American social media spreading their prudery through cultural imperialism!
- KingOfCoders 11mo agoUS culture imperialism. Only the US culture is right. Every other is wrong. This has been going on for 40 years with TV and then on the internet with social media.

- hinata08 11mo agoI particular when every American blockbuster and TV show needs more girls with generous breasts and love scenes than actual plot and actors, but plain clothed girls holding hands online is nudity.
- bluefirebrand 11mo agoYou definitely haven't been paying attention to blockbusters and TV shows over the past decade or so have you? They have become remarkably sexless, practically no titillation to be found anywhere
- watwut 11mo agoI have different netflix recommendations then you, apparently.
- anonzzzies 11mo agoI was going to say that. Also other US stuff I see: a lot of pointless sex and nudity.
- nottorp 11mo ago<cough> Game of Thrones... the hollywood idea of a "mature" series.
- alistairSH 11mo agoProbably depends on how one defines "blockbuster"... Yes, the highest-grossing movies (Marvel, etc) tend to be mostly sexless (aside from tight-fitting costumes and dirty jokes). But, there are always plenty of critically acclaimed Hollywood movies with lots of sex. Poor Things being a recent example.
- bluefirebrand 11mo ago> Probably depends on how one defines "blockbuster".. Movies that everyone sees that penetrate the public consciousness > there are always plenty of critically acclaimed Hollywood movies Movies that only critics see or care about are not blockbusters
- cpursley 11mo agoAs if the US is the only culture with these taboos and religious beliefs when it comes to nudity...
- saubeidl 11mo agoI never said it was the only one. Of course, there's other examples. Strict Islamic cultures come to mind. However, it isn't universal. It is a specific ideological choice - that's my point!

- wkat4242 11mo agoIt's one of the strictest in the western world though. Together with the UK.

- wraptile 11mo agoEspecially when you can post actual harmful stuff like group hate and threats - no problem. What an absolutely moronic world we live in.

- saubeidl 11mo agoNo need to be racist.
- throwawaypath 11mo agoNothing above is racist.
