Your definition of what might 'weaken another nation' is your own and doesn't represent the views of everyone in the country. Just because something might deflate your nationalistic commie-hating boner or whatever doesn't mean it should be banned.



I don't get to personally ban anything. I'm just a private individual whose only contribution to political debate is HN.

Elected representatives do get to take action against foreign state actors that they determine are 'weakening the nation'.
