Well, I don’t exactly know how the separation of power work in the US governmental machine, but in most western countries, the president doesn’t have any power to enforce a policy of a limitation of content without going through various official steps, generally with independant inquiries and especially a vote in the…

I don’t think the “slippery slope” is as silly as you think, as I have seen in practice in my adoptive country how companies empowered by an immoral government could help such government impose their lock on a country. Don’t forget that HBO as a company doesn’t give a shit about slavery and its representation. It’s…

I will admit that not being from the US, some of what you said help me clarify some views that Americans have been having relative to Freedom of Speech and its relation to the government, so thank you for that. It’s not the same in the countries I resided, and I have clearly misjudged some aspect of the situation due…

I get what you mean now with your first point. But again, whatever we think is evident... is really not! I know it hurts sometimes to just think about how some people can’t grasp things that seems so obvious to us, but it is generally due to our heavily biased point of view. What we both call “racism” would certainly…

I already ackowledged in another comment that I was excessive in the use of the term “to censor” in my first comment. A disclaimer is obviously not censorship, but it is still a moral assessment, and my point that companies should not make moral assessment on our behalf still stands.

I really think you got it backwards, unless US law is the opposite as most other western laws.

“Kinja’s gonna kinja, I guess?” Yep, f**** kinja.... :)

I will admit having pushed a bit the enveloppe by saying “to censor”, after rereading what I wrote, I thought so too, so you’re absolutely correct on that point But it didn’t look like it warranted an edit, since the point that I’m making still stands, whether it is about full censorship or more common moral…

By the way, I see in my notifications that you sent me another post before that one, but I can’t see it in the thread... weird.

So :

The problem with a disclaimer decided by a multinational company that only cares about its PR and its revenue is that we are giving the keys of our moral judgment to amoral (at best, more often than not they are immoral) entities.

But why do you need such a disclaimer?

Oh come one Michel! Your article is criminally dangerous, as shown by mutliple studies, lıke these ones (and many other) :

Wow... that really didn’t even cross my mind! Thanks.

I am very confused (I am coming from Kotaku, so give me a break a minute, please).

Government budgets are finite,”

Hmmm I see...

I’m really torn about this.

Oh, then... thanks a lot! :)
