    I almost wish that the great firewall would come down so that dumb shit like that reddit post would get downvoted to like -4 million..... BUT if I am china, no way in hell am I exposing my citizens to western internet brainworms

      The great firewall definitely works as a double edged sword. I wonder if western social media companies realize this.

      Companies like reddit and twitter would almost certainly go totally mask off about their racism if over a hundred million dedicated communists from China suddenly joined the English speaking part of the internet.

      I could see them blanket banning all Chinese IPs and giving an option report accounts you suspect are Chinese users on a VPN.

        They have been doing this with AI for years already. Even when I was a radlib, I noticed them shadow-deleting individual comments (too quickly to be human) if they were too radical or suggested people take things into their own hands. Even the critical-tech reporting is far behind the state of modern censorship.
