Hit 47 blocked memes in one sitting last night and it got me thinking

I was scrolling through a list of memes that got taken down in different countries. 47 of them were about politics or religion in places like India and Brazil. It made me wonder if we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg on free speech.

47 memes blocked and not a single one about pineapple on pizza, that's the real tragedy here lol. I bet half those political memes were just people pointing out a politician did something dumb, not even trying to start a riot. Meanwhile in India they're probably taking down jokes about a guy with a mustache and in Brazil it's memes about a president who can't stop falling off horses. Free speech is always fine until someone makes a funny picture about your favorite corrupt official I guess lmao.

Wait hold on @henrygrant, you're telling me 47 memes actually got blocked? That's wild lol. I thought you were joking at first. What platform even keeps track of that number specifically? Must be some bored moderator with a clipboard counting memes like they're taking attendance. And yeah the pineapple pizza thing is a solid point, that's the kind of debate that actually unites people instead of dividing them. The Brazil horse thing got me though lmao, that visual is too good to forget. Honestly makes you wonder how many of those 47 memes were actually funny versus just people yelling at clouds.
