          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. :/

        And yet I’m seeing more censorship on the internet due to draconian censorship rules on places like TikTok, despite not using it myself. Almost as if the point you’re making doesn’t mean anything to the conversation.

        And? I’m simply explaining that this video undoubtedly came from there. But even if it didn’t, this censorship of super mild words on the Internet never existed before TikTok so it’s clearly influenced by them, ie China

        Cool. Everyone else uses tiktok, so all the content even off tiktok gets made for it and so its rules affect all of us. Do you think you just fell off a coconut tree?
