    Whoever put it together is also clearly stretching the truth, though I’m not sure what the point of doing so is. The idea that most of the Western Hemisphere allows all pornography ‘without restrictions’ is news to broadcasters who must censor naked people on TV.

      I don’t know what the source is, but the facts seem to vary; IMO even this map is clearly just not the “same map” as US-aligned countries like Iceland, Ukraine, Bulgaria, South Korea, and the Iraqi puppet government all have it banned. Most other sources also seem to agree that Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolivia have either only some restrictions(yellow) or “totally legal”(green), and are very much anti-imperialist. The restrictions on porn seem to be very much a product of local circumstances rather than how “capitalist” or “imperialist” or “US-aligned” a country may be. There’s definitely a lot of European homogeneity generally, and not every instance of that is an instance of “always the same map”.
