From the perspective of cultural evolution, it only makes sense if the "abort females" meme is passed on more by fathers than by mothers.

The last time I looked into this, I came away convinced it was economics. Chinese men have (had?) a legal and cultural obligation to provide care for their parents that Chinese women do not. If you think you might only have one kid, it makes financial sense to insure it's a boy.

Assuming they decide to continue operating in Canada, I have no doubt that given the choice between trying to toe the line and interpret the rules reasonably, and dialing up their content filters to 11, they will choose to play it safe and do the latter.

Is there any safety to be had? If I'm the person tasked with dialing up the content filters, I have a hard time imagining what level of filtering would make me confident we were successfully toeing the line. And even if you think you have identified the line, you never know where the next line is until someone accuses someone else of crossing it. Better hope it's not one of your users that reveals the latest in offensive language/imagery/facts. Six months ago, who would ever have thought to be concerned about images of watermelons?
