South Korea seems to check all the boxes.

Puritanical.

Strong Christian Lobby of the kind you can imagine.

Controlling.

Now Pridephobic.

I see a conservative is taking a few kids pretending to be animals or whatever in one school as evidence of "pupils identifying as animals" being a serious problem.

Criminals who ran scam with fake court documents accusing people of viewing child porn have been arrested.

I can only imagine more of this happening under chat control.

I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to learn programming.

It seems like a good potential avenue for someone to reintegrate into and contribute to society.

"OceanGate"
Gate to the afterlife, you mean?

I see Twitter suspended the account of... A small shitposter...? Ugh.

The U.S. Supreme Court whittling down avenues to be released, when someone is wrongfully imprisoned is kind of concerning.

Apparently, the Hamilton County chapter of Moms for Liberty featured a quote from Adolf Hitler (o.O) on it's front cover.

Apparently, Florida has been barred from enforcing their anti-drag law. The First Amendment strikes again and saves the day.

Expected some guy trapped inside an iron box screaming for help after all that coverage.

Got a flimsy sub which fell apart quickly just as one of their employees warned them it would.

If only the CEO of the sub company listened to that guy who warned him of how things could go south.
