People never think of that. They always clamor for censorship, always thinking censorship will go their way and censor the things they don't like. Since the police already went to where this guy was and determined that he was there of his own volition, I don't think the streaming services should have any other responsibility. The streaming services should always err on the side of not censoring anything.

Why should they err on that side again?

Because we don't want them censoring anything they find objectionable. Like porn. Or abortion material. Or LGBT stuff. Need I go on?

Almost every website has a TOS and censors some stuff against said terms. You act like its not already nornal to have standards for conduct.

some stuff against said terms

Like mastercard and their ban of all purchases of items that could reflect negatively on their brand. Like porn.

I think platforms can dissallow some unreasonable content without 3rd parties trying to police all porn
