They’re probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it’s to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they’re unimpeded. I’m just looking for a solid motive
I doubt if charge backs even made a fraction of a difference in this. This is entirely about power, with the republicans enacting their christofaacist project 2025 agenda to try to turn the US into a religious hellhole based on their twisted read of the Bible (which, realistically, is nothing more than a cudgel welded by principle-less opportunists taking advantage of the stupid and religious).
I’m confused about that explanation because the same is happening outside the US, too, and started before the current US presidency.
Well, project 2025 was released a few years ago, and is not directly related to the current presidential administration. And to add onto that, the fascist right across the world have been reading from the same playbook for a while, so it’s perfectly understandable to assume that non-american fascists are using a similar playbook to gain control of their respective countries.
