Scratch and China (Discussion on Recent Website Block)
Inapropriate content on a site should NEVER be shown on scratch.Yes, but it's for informative purposes because it was banned and they have to add a link for every website banned. I'm sure it can stay up.It's #521 btwthat article links to another article regarding a very inappropriate website and the website can be found near the very top, I suggest you remove it.

But it's indirect, the editors didn't put it there for fun, it's for info.Inapropriate content on a site should NEVER be shown on scratch.Yes, but it's for informative purposes because it was banned and they have to add a link for every website banned.

Let's keep it little timmy appropriateBut it's indirect, the editors didn't put it there for fun, it's for info.Inapropriate content on a site should NEVER be shown on scratch.Yes, but it's for informative purposes because it was banned and they have to add a link for every website banned.

I took it down like 20 minutes ago.Inapropriate content on a site should NEVER be shown on scratch.Yes, but it's for informative purposes because it was banned and they have to add a link for every website banned.

I didn't see that, sorry.
I use ctrl+g to scan and see if scratch was listed there instead of looking through about 1000 sites.

The obvious reason is because America, China are both enemies and because America Blocked TikTok because they do not like China, China blocked scratch because Americans made it. India are Allies with America and Pakistan are Allies with ChinaIt's basically been confirmed that this is over something different… Plus there's plenty of other American-made websites that aren't banned in China, so saying that this is the reason why doesn't seem like a good reason to me-
Scratch don't sue this and ppl pls don't report this I'm trying to tell the truth.

As a minor, I can't talk about the political war of the Chinese CCP and the American government in an educated matter, but I didn't know this. Of course, VPNs are a loophole to this ruling. Like many others have said, they should change it to ‘What location do you live in?’ and doesn't Twitter have that thing where if something isn't allowed in your country they block it for you? If you ask me though, Scratch shouldn't give into a communist government and change and limit certain users simply because their country is commmunist and unfairly balanced. Any Chinese users, I urge you to invest in a VPN. ….while it's still legal

There's also the bit about the country select and some projects being anti-China.The obvious reason is because America, China are both enemies and because America Blocked TikTok because they do not like China, China blocked scratch because Americans made it.

Still, I don't believe that citizens, especially children, should have to suffer because two country leaders can't stop fighting like babies.

What do you mean by “country select”There's also the bit about the country select and some projects being anti-China.The obvious reason is because America, China are both enemies and because America Blocked TikTok because they do not like China, China blocked scratch because Americans made it.

When you sign up, there's something that asks you to select the country. Idk a lot about it, but I guess Hong Kong was listed as a country, and China didn't like that.What do you mean by “country select”There's also the bit about the country select and some projects being anti-China.The obvious reason is because America, China are both enemies and because America Blocked TikTok because they do not like China, China blocked scratch because Americans made it.
