Those rules are all due to legal settlements with the government anyway; in the event an alternative did pop up they'd end up having to do the same or very similar things once they're big enough to attract regulatory attention.

Yeah, as long as it's legal to show exploding heads to children, but a crime to display a nipple, things are never going to be sane.

Legal in the US that's said. Because we get the censorship in our countries too even if the law is different.
