@glynmoody Typically, the argument brought up for Japan is that censorship violates Article 19 / 21 of the Constitution (it contains a right to free expression).
However, neither the law or this right is limitless. For instance, if someone deliberately makes non-consensual porn of someone (ahem, not an imaginary character), that would be prohibited conduct, from what I've seen. There's more I could say but I'll keep it short for conciseness.
If they're doing that, maybe it's a Western spammer, as someone from there who I know would put it. It's also a bit suspicious, the Brits are hard to trust, they have a bad track record. It is also quite a dubious intervention. Of course, it's not implausible the authorities there tipped the Brits off about it.
If someone wants more American competition to YouTube though, a good start might be to repeal the DMCA and to implement stronger intermediary liability protections whenever copyright is involved. That is one of the biggest obstacles.

Dear Most Majestic Holy Knight Sir Tap Tap, if you happen to know any Australians, could you please point them towards this government consultation on censorship?
@SirTapTap lol
@anicasts Is Planet Hydra a swamp planet filled with hydra like creatures? Lol.
@SirTapTap How about the opposite, lol.
@freezenet Something I found annoying was, for instance, when Dove (one of their brands) went completely out of their depth to support KOSA. I don't mind less of that.
The plastic pollution sounds troublesome though.
I can't help but feel I could have done more here but then when I think about it I've actually done a lot.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00902-2 I think this article over-simplifies what could be done at the end, as it's really not that simple, particularly when you know more about how the Internet works (censorship can be extremely troublesome).
That said, it's a good takedown of a social media moral panic.
Reboosting the post on the Australian consultation on government censorship as it is very important. #auspol #anime #FreeSpeech #FreeExpression
