Do you really think the people working at these social media companies are bible thumping Christians?
What I meant is that they act like bible-thumping prude old hags. You know, like the ones that go crazy over KISS or cartoons or video games "ruining" our children.

More like they act that way because they're afraid it's the bible-thumping prude old hags that can be crazy enough to sue them over something like this.
AKA governments of countries with heavy internet censorship.
HA HA HA HA...oh wait, you serious? You’re telling me a multi-billion, BILLION dollar global company is afraid of some bible thumpers bitch Karens trying to fight them because of seeing something indecent as scantly covered girly tiddies on THEIR website on THE INTERNET? Does that even sound remotely possible or make any sense at all? That’s like trying to take on Disney. You do that shit and you will get countered sued by them until even your great grandkids have to pay for the cost.
Yeah, I’m sure the moral panic will totally have a chance to bitch and moan in court with a great abundance of evidence and money to fight for years and years against the might of google. If it was so easy, every single person in America would have done it cause it would be the fastest way to get rich.
Hell, while they’re at it they better sue God as well cause in those picture bibles there are craploads of depiction of naked women and many, many chapters of about rape and other fucked up shit. Oh goodness, think of the children.
Besides that, if google didn’t give a flying shit about China and it’s censorships, as if they would give a fuck about some other easily sensitive nanny states. The best those countries can do is ban youtube and google, but as with China, they can’t do jackshit cause google is technically US based and they’ve been getting away with waaay more bigger crime(selling every bit of your private information to every bidding country and company in the world) without ever so much as even batting an eye. If anything, trying to ban google is a detriment to them cause they will lose the purchase of those value informations that every government around the world is paying top dollar for.
Which is why I specified that the bible-thumping Karens I am referring to are the governments NOT the average individuals. What did you think that AKA meant?
And even then I know that the governments don't really believe in whatever morals they're preaching via censorship. The censorships are only an excuse for them to create the optics that they are on the moral high grounds without having to take any actual efforts. It doesn't really mean jackshit. It's the whole reason Japan "has" a censorship law, but as long as you put a tiny black bar over the tip of the penis and the clitoris you can show as much rape, torture and dismemberment as you want.
And okay, "sue" was the incorrect word to use. But the point still stands that big companies will still not want to piss off these foreign governments. And yes, Disney and Google can choose not to do business with censor-happy countries because they can make banks elsewhere, but censor-happy countries(not limited to China as it also includes the majority of Muslim countries and even some big eastern countries like South Korea and Thailand) are still a huge, huge markets. They're goldmines you'd be even stupider to believe those big companies would be willing to take a pass on.
And I mean funny you brought up Disney, considering if there is to be a prime example of a big western company selling their soul out to China, Disney would 100% be it. What with them twisting themselves into pretzels around the concentration camp issues just to sell a garbage movie to China. And yes, even Google itself is trying to kowtow to Winnie the Pooh because it want those sweet, sweet RMB.
