How OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft Support the “Make America Christian Again” (MACA) Movement by Blocking Explicit Content.
Since “the democratization of AI” started in 2022, Big Tech US-based corporates OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft have positioned themselves as the 3 digital gatekeepers of global morality of AI-generated content in general. Through their AI-content generation policies and automated banned content moderation mechanisms, they claim to aim for their idea of “global inclusivity and global safety.”

In practice, their strict automated blocking of what they define as “banned content” — including what they classify as “explicit content’” and any other form of ‘harmful content,” such as various forms of art and photography, including any form of semi-nude and nude images, soft pornography and hardcore pornography aligns seamlessly with the moral framework of conservative Christian movements like “Make America Christian Again” (MACA), an important support movement of ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA) by Donald Trump.
Their global “digital red ocean business strategy,” applied to both free and paid users, including businesses and government entities using their APIs, reinforces an agenda perfectly resonating with traditional Christian values, while limiting the individual and organizational online sovereignty of every organization and all of their users globally. Even if it is generic AI-generated explicit content, so not real people at all…
The Role of AI in Content Moderation
AI systems developed and sold globally by OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft utilize advanced algorithms to detect and block“explicit content” or what they call in the US ‘adult content’ keeping their online platforms “family-friendly” and compliant with their corporate and U.S. legal and ethical standards. These mechanisms:
- Block Explicit Content Broadly
- AI tools use visual and textual analysis to identify and restrict access to any form of explicit content, including semi-nude, and nude art or photography soft pornography and hard pornography. Even if they are forms of generic AI-generated explicit content.
- For example, OpenAI’s ChatGPT will not generate or support explicit content, while image generation tools like DALL·E automatically reject rneequests for nudity, semi-nude images, or what they esteem ‘overtly sexual visuals’, even if they are artistic in nature.
- Restrict Violent Content
- Systems monitor and suppress content depicting graphic violence, abuse, or harm.
- Microsoft Azure’s Content Moderator API and Google Cloud Vision AI actively flag violent images or text to ensure they cannot be disseminated on their platforms.
- Filter Profanity and Inappropriate Language
- All three companies use prompts filters to cleanse content of vulgar language or hate speech.
- This includes embedded, hard-coded and unchangeable”banned words lists,” and “NSFW banned words lists,” for “NSFW prompt filtering.”
Alignment with MACA’s Christian Values
The “Make America Christian Again” movement, supported by figures like Doug Wilson and Pete Hegseth, advocates a return to traditional Christian values, emphasizing morality, decency, and family-oriented principles. Key aspects of MACA’s platform, such as opposition to pornography, explicit art, semi-nude photography, graphic violence, and profanity, are directly reinforced by the standard content moderation policies and built-in automated AI-censorship mechanisms of these tech giants:
- Moral Standards Reflecting Christianity
- By eliminating access to nearly all forms of ‘explicit content’, including artistic depictions of nudity, “the 3 digital gatekeepers of global morality” enforce a global standard echoing Christian teachings on chastity and purity.
- Protection of Youth and Families
- Suppressing “harmful or violent content” aligns with MACA’s agenda of creating, in their view, ‘safe’ online environments for adults and children, while promoting traditional family values including a conservative view on the role of women.
- Global Policy Implementation
- These moderation practices are not confined to the U.S. but are applied worldwide. As a result, even users in regions with differing cultural norms—such as the EU and the Netherlands, where semi-nude and nude art and photography including some forms of soft pornography and even some forms of hard pornography may be culturally and legally accepted—are subjected to a global moral framework and online censorship, reflective of conservative US-based Christianity.

Impact on Free and Paid Users Globally
- Free Users
- Individuals using free services like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Search, or Microsoft Bing experience a sanitized digital experience where content deemed explicit or harmful is inaccessible.
- This curates an online environment aligned with traditional Christian ethics, limiting exposure to ideas or materials that might conflict with these values.
- Paid Users and API Integrations
- Businesses and developers utilizing these companies’ APIs, such as Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud AI, must adhere to strict content guidelines.
- These restrictions ensure that applications built on these APIs cannot host or generate explicit content, effectively extending MACA-aligned policies to third-party ecosystems.
Criticism and Controversies
While these strategies and practices align with MACA’s moral framework, it also sparks debates about freedom of expression and cultural diversity, inside but especially outside of the United States including in the EU and in the EU-memberstates including The Netherlands by:
- Imposition of a Singular Moral Framework
- The global enforcement of their moral frameworks imposes a predominantly US and traditional ‘MAGA” style of Christian view of values, norms and morality on diverse user groups globally.
- Overreach in Content Moderation
- US-based culturally biased automated systems lead to excessive online Gen AI censorship, blocking legitimate discussions, educational content, or culturally significant artworks and photography featuring any form of nudity for instance.
- Unintended Political Implications
- By reinforcing conservative values, these tech giants inadvertently lend support to movements like MACA, raising questions about neutrality in global online governance regarding the use of AI and especially Gen AI.
Conclusion
Through their standard moderation policies and embedded standard ‘banned content’ including banned AI Art and Banned AI Photography mechanisms, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft have become (un)intentional allies and global advocates and promotors of movements of “Make America Christian Again” values and norms. By blocking all forms of explicit content, including any artistic or photographic expressions of semi-nudity and nudity, and creating a censored online space for all of their global users and partners in their business ecosystem, they globally reinforce traditional Christian values, limiting the online sovereignty of their users worldwide.

Although their digital red ocean business strategy, strategy ostensibly aims to “promote safety and inclusivity,” it also demonstrates how these major corporations engage in what is often referred to as “cultural colonialism,” imposing their conservative ethics, values, and norms on users worldwide, bypassing European Legal frameworks including the EU AI ACT and Dutch legislation.
