Comment on Why is Minecraft able to be forced to put restrictions on online servers, but web browsers aren't held accountable for providing access to the web?

They aren't. The restrictions are mandated by Microsoft, not governments.

They do have to take action in regards to their own Realms servers, but that's it. Restrictions on random unaffiliated Java servers are either for brand image or other selfish reasons. For example, someone here mentions chat for UK teens, that one is almost certainly to force ID verification into the game, not to actually comply with anything. It's for data harvesting.
