What's even sadder for us across the pond is that this US oversensitivity to any kind of nudity and desire to censor it for political and religious reasons, is spreading here though tech companies enacting their crazy US policies across the world.

"But a kid seeing a nipple isn't illegal here"

"Doesn't matter, it's illegal in 'Merica, so to simplify things, it's now illegal wherever Google operates "

I guess it's payback for the EU cookies banners. /s

This kind of stuff is one reason why it should be illegal for platforms to censor at will, it should be possible to sue them for censoring stuff they shouldn't be censoring just as it is for not censoring stuff they should be censoring. No matter how much they like to say they are fReEEeE pRiVAte eNTErpRiSes, they provide de-facto public spaces(public as in accessible to the broad public, not as in government-run) and should be treated as such. They shouldn't have the power to be legislative and judiciary of public communication.
