Huh? China has political censorship by law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_China

It’s much harder if anything, due to the sheer amount of topics censored.

That's what I meant by different sense. Yes.

But I suspect it applies to citizen facing things. It doesn't likely hold up research or pressures them into returning POC Viking images.

I could be wrong of course.

I'm not sure it's easier to make your products block communication about Taiwan or Tiananmen Square.

If you have to do political policing one way or the other, you'll have to invest resources to achieve it. On the other hand, maybe it's beneficial for r&d because it pressures you to do hard things that your product benefits from, e.g. controllability in ML-products.

Yeah that makes sense.
