Prohibition-TAKE 2

Description

Just something random I came up with, concerning the news about the internet censorship bill in th US that will give censorship control to the entertainment industry, making creative works, harder, and limiting the freedom of speech in the country.
Being british, you wonder why it bothers me? most websites are american, that are used by english speaking countries, and some not english lingo places.
The interent, is not an AMERICAN jurisdiction, imo, it is a global community, an international country with its own laws, customs, and if you like, population.
Sure, the US can look to what servers in it's on country, but when they effect one part of the internt, they effect ALL of it.

but anyway, POLITICS ASIDE, the idea came to me, that this cnesorship could be just a second prohibition (US 1920's Alcohol prohibition) it was a bad idea then, what makes it a good idea now? Because it's not Booze? it is a liberty like any other, and no one, nor any group has a right to censor free speech. so, I came up with this funny skit ^^ enjoy :)

And why take 2? A pun towards the entertainment industry ^^

Very true.  China should especially take note.  Thanks to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), China suffers longterm economical and political problems thanks to censorship in knowledge and free speech, corruption, poorly built housing, wealth inequality, water and air pollution, and more
