China's Internet Firewall is Good, Actually (youtu.be)

China's firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.

Western internet is full of crap, and manipulation, but you won't get censored for criticising the Government... I guess unless you are an American criticizing Israel (which is a newer thing, really.)

Isn't that why feddit.org only allows criticism of the occupation regime of west palestine if you precede it with "Israel has a right to defend itself"? At least they claim they fear governmental retribution

Not sure who you would blame for feddit blocking that ME topic, but you can criticize anything else that you want now.

"That ME topic" is a full-blown genocide and fuck you for trying to hide it behind some nicer sounding phrase.

I am blaming the g*rman government for their draconian crackdown on anti-genocide propaganda but also the mods for giving in a priori! Like nothing had even happened and they're already self-censoring. So I don't know why you're saying "Aside from that bit of genocidal censorship, you can talk about anything else", because that censorhip of genocide is not going to be the end.

Also "you can criticise anything else" is wrong, because if you're critical of their lack of evidence for what they claim to be an "Uyghur genocide" you get pretty much insta-banned. But thats not due to the government rather than the feddit mods marinating themselves in NED propaganda and not interacting with anything outside their information bubble.
