Talk:Censorship
I think there needs to be a clearer picture of what censorship looks like in which countries and the difference between government censorship, self-censorship by Hollywood, etc., and editorial decisions by creators, publishers, etc. The MPAA rating system is voluntary and not enforced by law. Censoring swearwords on the radio might be a U.S. issue, where government censorship is illegal, whereas in China censorship is legal and tv and films need a government license before they can be broadcast. Meanwhile, I understand Australian obscenity(?) laws impact Australians' use of AO3. Also the relationship between copyright, takedown requests, automated filtering and censorship could be covered here. How decisions by credit card companies impact sexually explicit fanart sold online? What the law says vs. corporations playing it safe and the impact of monopolies. etc. Also a greater emphasis on how fandom is impacted.--aethel (talk) 22:45, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
