You’d be right in this case too. It’s extremely sketchy, it’s pretty much absolute censorship power with only an informal promise that it won’t be used for anything nefarious (but a refusal to actually codify anything preventing that). “Harmful content” is left very conveniently vague.

Can you elaborate on that claim? I couldn’t find anything substantial in the article.

if they decide that treating the “transgendereds” like people is “harmful to children” then it’ll be banned.
