You are right conflicts can exist. The internet was considered free (from interference) at one point and people were proud of that. As time has gone on the legitimately concerned got dangerous things censored and now with the beigists wanting everything banned it is going daft. But it is up to each country what their restrictions are and even if they wish to block stuff.

Access to online content can be and is different in various countries (yes I know VPN gets around it) so a nations borders are at its borders. Aka if it is legal in one but not the other, neither has the right to dictate even if that concept is beyond some politicians.
