    Agreed. It's not even complying with local laws.

    The restriction is a broad stroke for MENA region decided by rule of opinion, not fact of local law.

    MENA has a conservative part of society, yes, but an adult can (legally):
    - Consume alcohol
    - Visit (or work at) cabarets
    - Gamble
    - and so on

    While the generalization is conservative, that does not negate the fact that these are allowed legally.

    Assigning "region" restriction on a region with multi-application of law is a mistake and only serves the most restricted mindset, not the local laws.

    To clarify even more, just so that no one jumps on the "it's about lewd content". No, it is not, and yes, why not?

    A region consists of many countries. What happens if ONE of those countries restricts political talks? Are the rest just piled up with it?

    What about social debates? It is restricted in two countries in MENA region. Will that also be piled up as "MENA restriction"?

    It is a naive decision. Local laws does not equal regional law. There is no such thing as regional law.

    A citizen living in one country is not restricted by the laws of the neighboring or regional countries.
