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.

you won’t get censored for criticising the Government… I guess unless you are an American criticizing Israel (which is a newer thing, really.)

This is a pretty big "you won't get censored... unless you do."

And if we're inputting government censorship onto modding decisions by major social media -- which we absolutely should, as those companies are ran by a revolving door of politicos, all the owners openly play high-level politics, and the threat of regulation is ever-present -- there's all sorts of criticism of the U.S. government and its approved narratives that will get comments removed or accounts banned.
