Censorship for China, Disney

jeudi 9 février 2023 à 15:17

Disney censors The Simpsons to kowtow to Emperor Xi. Other large companies censor for China. [pol note(s) to show 2 or more examples of such companies.] I suppose most companies will do this rather than forego the profits from the Chinese market. If western companies were selling physical products, such as DVDs, the companies would not have to carry out the censorship. Chinese retailers would not buy the DVDs of the banned programs; the western company would not be required to participate in censorship. However, because they run a streaming dis-service, [pol note explaining the injustice of streaming dis-services] the dis-service itself is required to censor on China's behalf. This is one additional reason to reject streaming dis-services. I condemn their injusties so strongly that I refuse to watch or listen to anything through them.
