the uk did not actually ban the ad, even though it has been stopped from being shown by a company following a uk law about political ads (the ad, which is from iceland, is from greenpeace and is DEFINITELY political). this article explains in as nonpartisan a manner as possible, using, well, you know, facts: [wired.co.uk]

thank you for the reference. This is another example of the insanity we are living with now. Truth is not to be shared.

Not banned, but blocked. Sorta the same.
And, nearly everything is political. Especially destroying the world we live on. That should be was is banned/blocked.

@Jacar no problem. yes, small distinction in some ways, but important nonetheless, especially in this world of at best inaccuracies and at worst lies, yes? 'sigh. we have to work hard to fix it even if it isn't fixed in our lifetimes.
