I don't really like the: "inappropriate content" that's the kind of language which allows American companies to apply an American sense of moral onto countries with completely different ideas of what is inappropriate.
> apply an American sense of moral onto countries
This is an interesting comment because it could go both ways. You have the EU and Australia where there are somewhat more permissive morals (nudity isn't considered obscene for example), and on the other hand you have many other countries like the Middle East where the moral code is much more stringent (alcohol is not allowed, face coverings, etc).
Also, this isn't any worse than the current state, the App Store owners have complete control here already. It just doesn't fix this particular potential abuse.
Not having it would effectively render markets mutually exclusive as the terms are "do something which would cause a shitstorm here" like saying they can't take down a Zwarte Pete face swap app. The law prohibiting it would turn it into an international incident as a "EU demands a right to profit from blackface" scandal and nobody wins.
> I think you forget how serious Americans are about free speech.
I'm also serious about free speech which is why I don't want unelected capitalists to restrict it.
I am really interested to know what you mean by "an American sense of moral". Is there some better "universal sense of moral" that we could be following?
