I posted this in Privacy, and News.ml
They were both removed for “off topic” and “lemmy rules”. Good times. It’s fun to see them literally censor news reports about censorship in China.

This, by the way, is actual real freedom of speech censorship. It’s censoring anyone that talks about the government.

Also, i love that they banned an .ee account for six months. That’s just extra special sauce.

    YDI. Once I posted article in c/palestine about how china was supporting the genocide. It caused some discussion. I mostly stayed away and I wasn’t banned… But, if I had started to post in the sub every day about it, then I would probably be banned. The sub is about palestine. It’s not about singling out china’s role when there are plenty of other culpable parties.

    Similarly, the topic of China, “AI”, and “Tiananmen Square” are tired as fuck. I’ve seen version of this story for months if not years. It’s just some corny gotcha at this point. Like any technology “AI” will be used by capital and its state for evil as we have already seen. Grow up and stop with the sinophobic bullshit.
