Following the passage of legislation in the USA many sites hosting pornographic and graphic stories have been forced to close. The most prominent of these is Zambian Meat but there are many others. In effect I understand that the USA claims a world wide jurisdiction whether or not the site’s are based there or elsewhere providing that they can be accessed from the USA. If I am wrong in my understanding then perhaps an American jurist, I am british, can correct me.
However the point I wish to make is that this is censorship and further it is censorship to fit the views of Trump and his Republicans. And that there can be no justification for the, USA to seek jurisdiction over sites based elsewhere just because they can be accessed from the USA.
Personally I find difficulty in viewing actual deaths but that is me and I should not wish to enforce my views on others. There are worse things published in the tabloid press. But I suspect that this is the thin edge and that if they get away with it much more will follow.
I don’t blame the publishers and site hosters not everyone is set out to be a John Wilkes, and I suspect the penalties are horrendous. And we know that the Americans have no problem I seekimg to extradite foreign nationals for so called offences which are legitimate in their own counties.
I guess this is developing into a rant. I am not anti American but wish they stopped trying to be the policemen of the world and seeking to enforce their morality on the rest of us.
And is this something the Democrats could overturnmor are they likely to be scared of doing so.
And incidentally, how safe is CDG. Perhaps Meatpie could comment.
