          imho Chinese platforms censor their words too much. you might not have seen it, but the users self censor words like death, suicide, sex, and stuff like that.

            Annoyingly self reported chinease users I used to talk to would go dark after mention a certain square, tanks, and massacre. Since the push for misinformation instead of censorship its been less common but it also just seems like there are less people from China in my internet social circles now too. :/

      China has to do with malware. However you want to define it. NSA has plugs everywhere, so does China.

      Censoring has to do with reach and realities of parasite media. Targeting young demo keeps platforms first growing then afloat(see kik still being around shoveling “teenager demo” while being a csm hell hole).

        Lol so full mask off now? Instead of heavily twisting the truth into lies, we’re now just flat out making them up out of nothing

            They’ve been harassing me since I called them out for repeatedly lying. They are now blocked. I prefer not to block people but this dick left me no choice. They messaged me like 12 times this morning and I think I only responded twice, to basically tell them to stop.

              There’s a lesson here for lurkers looking at this conversation :-) Block people all you want. You don’t need a good reason. There’s no Socratic Method Fairy who’s gonna get mad at you for refusing to engage with bad faith arguments, lying, or abuse. Just click on the username, the block button is near the top and pretty big.

              About to block a few accounts here myself.
