These are nudes, not porn.

Is "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli also porn?

American culture is very prudish, courtesy of its Puritanical roots which even today cause us to label a woman sucking off an enormous penis (like in "Deep ASCII", referenced in article) as so-called "pornography".

Yeah, but blowing up people on TV shows, with blood and body parts going everywhere is perfectly alright.

That is the thing with censorship, it isn't consequent.

Different cultures each have their own standards for what is and is not considered offensive, and each culture thinks that its standards are correct. That isn't hypocrisy, it's just how this whole topic works. There are no two human cultures in history which have entirely agreed on what is and isn't offensive, so why do people feel the need to pick on Americans specifically? It strikes me as extremely narrow-minded.

Because Americans love to push their standards on the rest of the world, specially American companies with high control of Internet contents.

Then again, the current geopolitic clima has proven the time we are supposed to be all friends across the technology field, is coming to an end, and every nation is better off putting effort in ramping up with own siloed technology with less dependency in foreign nations.
