Censorship 😡

It's possible for platforms under the influence of the Chinese government and right wing American billionaires to both have harmful censorship.

Crazy thought: What if both platforms are bad?

Yeah, their censorship is cruel and tragic.

But our censorship is cheeky and fun.

/s because unfortunately it's necessary

Has Lemmy just been completely flooded with CCP apologists now?

RedNote ToS includes provisions that require you to post "correct views on history, nationality, state, or culture".

I guess if you believe Taiwan should be "returned" to the mainland, Uhghurs deserve to be "re-educated" and enslaved, and that China is the natural and rightful pre-eminant global power... you're gonna be fine.

Yeah, but Rednote censorship is bad because _communism whilst Twitter's censorship is fine because it's the 100% Capitalist Free Market situation of a billionaire buying (using, amongst others, money from a Petro State) a privatelly owned forum for exchange of ideas and then shutting down any ideas he doesn't like.

that pic of the woman saying Dumb NWORD , followed up by a rebuttal Dumb Cracker (the latter was taken down by admins) tells you all you need to know about elon musk

I mean it is funny, but there's a chasm between government censorship and whatever xitter is doing.

And this here is the exact reason im on lemmy.

Should we be making a large effort to spread the word of better options to people? I feel like the discoverability of social networks (like this one) has gone way down, and a lot of people would like somewhere to doomscroll that isn't shit, but just aren't aware of other places/apps.

Certainly may not help that setting up LemmyWorld on my phone involved a pinned website app, something I'm guessing a lot of people haven't done before.

Yes imperialism is violent and hypocritical. Kinda 101. Strange to see so many apologists for this kind of censorship on Lemmy. Lib brainwashing plus state religion.

I mean you should do it but not out of spite, or to be hurtful, but to give people the freedom to choose.

And to do that, they need to know what their government was up to.

Well, that's how "biased free speech" works.

Twitter’s CEO just violated their own TOS because he’s a butt hurt little baby about people finding out he only tells lies.

There is nothing in China that will ever harm you as much as the American Government does. Ever.

But keep giving your info to the NSA, I’m sure they’re good people with good intentions. Surely.

But he wasn't banned. even had 120,000 likes.

In Rednote, Could try to support 李文亮，阮晓寰，彭立发，魏京生，刘晓波，王志安，赵紫阳，胡耀邦，陆以恒，郝海东 etc look what happened.

Even support to Ukraine and use Flag of Ukraine.
