    Back in the day, we tried to get Reddit unblocked in our country, which blocks porn websites. No amount of arguments can convince the government agency in charge of the block list that Reddit is not a porn site. They probably got tired of us pestering them and send back a whole bunch of screenshots of porns in Reddit to justify the block.

    I guess Reddit is a porn site.

      “Look at all this stuff that you’re not allowed to look at.”

      Seriously though, what government is not letting you slap the salami in this day and age?

        They did blur the screenshots though, but yeah, pretty much flexing that they can browse anything without restriction in their office, lmao.

        It’s Indonesia btw. That reminds me, I do have a concern about Lemmy instances that use .id TLD (e.g. lemdro.id). It’s Indonesian TLD, so it might subject to Indonesian law, so they’ll might run into trouble if they federate with porns communities. Might be a similar situation where websites with .ly TLD got into trouble with Libyan government back then.

          That’s the goal of all censors - undisputed authority. You can’t argue with what you can’t see.

          That’s hilarious. Just picturing the Australian federal police raiding poor neckbeards and NEETs to confiscate their hentai stash. Heaven forbid horny cartoons be allowed to corrupt the youth lol.

          So, hentai (really any anime) doesn’t appeal to me personally, but why in the hell would it be banned?

            Uneducated guess: the preponderance of subjects which appear to be underage (despite the fact that they are indeed a 1000 year old demon)

            Australia doesn’t treat it’s people like citizens, rather as subjects. Totally different dynamic.

                Yeah. I just remembered how the UK outlawed Women’s orgasms in porn, calling it piss.
