Those people are the people in those countries, not everyone else.

Yes and that's why content is geoblocked where applicable.

So if Uzbekistan decides to ban any content including camels wearing pink ribbons the rest of the planet needs to geoblock that content to accommodate their dumb bullshit?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wha? It would be geoblocked in Uzbekistan, not anywhere else.

Right, but they would need to prevent the entire planet from using VPNs to ensure that they aren't Uzbeks trying to illicitly access this camel content.

I don't know what you're talking about, that's not what is happening.
