"There's talk of 'harmonizing laws', so that might mean less censorship."

Someone said something vaguely to that effect.

To be clear, this is a euphemism for censorship. I know this, because I have read a fair bit of literature from censorship advocates, and this is precisely how they try to word things in a more low profile way (and if you dig around, the censorial intent becomes very evident).

I would be wary of language like that.

Ironically, "harmonization" is also a euphemism used for censorship in China.
