From fringe left-wing news site Bloomberg
This is why they're freaking out over tiktok so much, the level of censorship on US owned social media platforms is absolutely stunning.
Youtube once shadow-deleted a comment where I simply listed locations and dates where the US has toppled socialist governments and movements. It was something like, "Look what happened in Indonesia in 1965โ66, in Chile in 1973,..." and a few others. No profanity, inflammatory language, or sensitive keywords whatsoever.
It's kind of hilarious how libs always freak out over China doing censorship, but it's pretty clear that the level of censorship in the west isn't substantially different. The difference lies in what is being censored.
In the west, censorship is a duty of corporations which points you towards what the real governing structure is in the west
Exactly, and it's absolutely hilarious to see how libs point to the fact that the government doesn't do direct censorship in the west as an example of having freedoms. Like who do you think the government represents exactly, it's the people who own the media. They don't need a middle man to do censorship for them. They're perfectly capable of doing it themselves.
