(I'm Turkish living in the US.)

I think that's part of it. Another part is Turkey's legal system is based on Swiss law. From ChatGPT:

The legal systems of the United States and Continental Europe differ in several ways. One major difference is that the US follows a common law system, which is based on the precedent set by previous court rulings, while Continental Europe follows a civil law system, which is based on a comprehensive legal code.

In other words, the US legal system is based on intent with laws providing guidance to courts to assess intent. In Turkey, the legal system writes everything down and courts assess if you followed the code.

I think even this conversation itself demonstrates how hard it's to moderate content in the internet. Maybe we need lawyers? :)
