A foreign country is imposing companies to self-censorship according to their thoughts. It's also not the first time, by a long shot. Fun part Blizzard "has" a motto, "Every voice matters".

Kind of proves how ridiculous this regime is along with companies backing down over silly accusations. As if being scared of Winnie the Pooh imagery isn't silly enough.

So it would be up to the Fed to force and enforce regulations that the NYSE has to abide by. I doubt Interpol or the UN gives two shits. Especially the UN since they're having money troubles right now. But at least, freezing trading on

Hey, hey, homie. I've been discussing that it's been going on here on HN and arguing against some apologists for the communist regime in China. Shove it. The point to that statement, instead of trying to use this as a situation wh

"You're an asshole." That's protected as free speech and is recognizably known as an opinion. "Your carrots gives people AIDS." Is slander/libel and not protected by free speech. That can be taken as fact

To be fair for Viacom, they still haven't pulled South Park. In fact, they renewed it until 2022. Yes, they've forced censorship here and there. But when you take South Park as a whole, you'd be hard pressed to find a big ent
