The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

It's gotta follow the local laws of where it's hosted, so I doubt they'll be allowed to have as strong censorship laws when they make a USA and EU version tbh

Well, they'll be just as strong in the USA, but focuses on different topics

[–] bugbear@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

is it illegal to not host content critical of China in EU? otherwise local laws are irrelevant.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Private companies are allowed to decline to host at their will. USA nor EU mandate that a platform must host content they don't want to.

In practice, it's possible that China companies operating outside of China won't implement the same restrictions that they do within China. Whatever the Chinese government thinks the importance of maintaining censorship within the borders, it seems probable that the government and companies will be more pragmatic about realities in other nations.

They've got people in other countries entirely afraid to even utter the word Taiwan. I wouldn't count on their pragmatism in this case.
