The developers may be in Norway, or Poland, or where ever, but the project is owned by the ChiComs. And since they own it, you'd better believe that the browser will conform to their demands.

The cinema company AMC, short for American Multi-Cinema, has been around for over a century and is headquartered in Leawood, KS. In 2012, Beijing-based Dalian Wanda Group became the majority stakeholder. Do they censor the movies?….

Spotify- Chinese investor Tencent Holdings Limited LLC bought 10% of the company back in 2017 while Spotify bought 10% of Tencent’s holdings. Does da CCP censor the songs?

Facebook offered to buy Snapchat for $4 billion, they opted out. Instead, Tencent Holdings bought a large share of yet another tech giant. The Chinese Investor owns about 14% of Snapchat’s shares. And they say TikTok is pure evil😹

There is no need for AMC to censor anything. Hollywood preemptively self-censors their content, because they know full well that if they don't, their movies will be banned in China. Having said that, you can bet that you will never see an AMC board member say, or write anything critical of China, or the CCP.

NBA players, businesses, big tech and politicians all prostrate themselves and kiss the CCP's ass for a chance to stick their snouts into the CCP's trough and none of them will will risk doing anything that would interfere with their corrupt relationship.
