Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

And how do they make their money?

Because hosting shit yourself isn't free, and most people aren't up for taking financial losses for their projects.

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn't explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we're talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they'd just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we're talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.

Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

Because Catholicism.

Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn't have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can't make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that's where the whole 'being gay is sinful' bit comes from

They're also the one straight up using the term, which is why I asked in the first place (that being I had no clue what it meant)

Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.
