    Are you seriously trying to say that western relations are more censored than china’s? One of those countries has locked off Internet. The other does not.

      If you’re implying that there is no substantial amount of censorship in the west you’re kidding yourself. e.g. RT/TASS, Genocide in Palestine, Leftists/Communist thought, Removing TikTok is in the talks, etc. come to mind. Not like only one side is locking off their internet.

      Also, not wanting western Nazi (social) media platforms is just self defense.

        I’m saying the censorship is not even close to the same degree. Communists and leftists are not censored. If they were, I wouldn’t encounter them in main stream social medias.

        Removing tic tok is not censorship lmfao.

        Also, not wanting western Nazi (social) media platforms is just self defense.

        If it was only banning the platforms, I would agree.

          As a lib it definitely seems that way. There may be even too much amirte?

          Removing tic tok is not censorship lmfao.

          Id argue trying to remove a main stream platform with a flatter algorithm that allows for counter hegemonic content to go viral is a form of censorship, but in that case China blocking Western social Media isn’t either

          If it was only banning the platforms, I would agree.

          I like how you skipped the censoring of TASS/RT

        Yes, there is censorship. But the information is there if you search for it. The fact that you’re typing the words “genocide in Palestine” and I am reading those words pretty clearly demonstrates that the level of censorship in the west is no where near the level of censorship in China. If the CCPs position is “Israel has a right to defend itself” you would never even know there’s a conflict in Gaza.

          Goes for China too if you use a VPN

          I guess you never heard of shadow banning before. That never happens in the west right?
