An Indonesian court sentenced Swiss national Luzian Andrin Zgraggen to a year in prison for insulting Nyepi, Bali's sacred Day of Silence, on social media.
having grown up in an island tourist economy for over two decades I can say with actual specifics that yes, do this type of shit enough and yea it can bite your economy in the ass
and what kind of moron gatekeeps a social media website, lmao
only responding to the second point because indonesia does this shit constantly to dumb ass tourists but whatever.
idk if im “gatekeeping” a social media (not sure if you mean lemmy or reddit), im moreso just pointing out the decrepit culture of reddit that is a little bit ingrained in lemmy. idk, i was gonna say something dumber abt giving you a gold or whatever the fuck but thought just being direct would be clearer.
potentially this is gatekeeping lemmy? if so, id happily do it again. The gross and wholely netpoisoned nature of thinking one story abt a white guy being a fuck ass in a foreign country bringing down the neocolonial tourism wealth that pours in from first world is… childish? idk cant think of a good word.
anyway ill stop rambling to myself, im sure you didnt get anything out of this.
just because some people are dumb enough to risk places with draconian laws doesn’t mean doing this shit doesn’t hurt your tourism, especially in related time windows (you wanna bet this event is running in the news back home for this guy?)
(also see USA ICE and the World Cup for an obvious example)
i mean idiots go to North Korea and now the USA still
and yea i don’t care about reddit or whatever hang up you have over it
you’re going to be really disappointed if you lemmy or any other site will be different at large
sure but anyone supporting jail time over hurt feelings needs a reality check
hope they enjoy the hit to tourism
lol smug lord redditor strikes again!!
do you genuinely believe this would affect a billion doller industry halfway across the world?
