China’s censorship is absurd. I talked to my friends brother once who lived there for work and said they censor most ghosts out of their movies because they don’t like people thinking there’s life after death or some shit wtf.

Mike, I actually think I disagree with the interpretation. It’s not talking about the prohibition itself, it’s talking about the *means* of prohibition being censorious and authoritarian. I would have to agree with that, in that the government can’t just block a service.

the government can absolutely ban a foreign service or product it considers a national security threat. we only just began to lift a decades-long embargo on the nation of cuba, and they weren’t an aggressive, genocidal superpower hell bent on annexing our allies.
