Countries always fighting the most important battles :eyeroll:

Porn is just the justification. It's easy to find something repugnant on whatever streaming video site and then start with the "protect the children" nonsense.

The real issue is always control.

Backward countries being backward. The main flaw of modern liberal societies is that parts of them have stopped believing that liberalism is indeed progress. All hail the moral police and long live cultural relativism or whatever its currently trendy post-structural reconstruction is.
It doesn't help that the term 'liberal' has had its meaning so co-opted that it now refers to people who reject freedom of speech and belief.
True, though I would say that is leftism. Leftists actually hate liberals and use it as a slur, believe it or not.
While they often go together, economic liberalism shouldn't be confused with social liberalism.
