I've asked actual Chinese people about this and it's not as big a deal as westerners think it is. They don't teach about tiananmen square protests in school, but you can literally just go up to your teacher after class and ask about it and they'll tell you. It's not some big secret, the government just doesn't want people to talk about it in public life (ie try to start another protest). They aren't making sure everyone has purged the event from their memories, that wouldn't be possible.
But ultimately it's not even that consequential to know about it, so the government killed some people 40 years ago, so what? Redditors act like they are "exposing" the CCP but I'm pretty sure every Chinese person is aware that the government kills people sometimes. The party of Mao Zedong ain't exactly pacifists. No one in China is going to try to overthrow the government because some redditor told them the "truth" about their country, which I guess is their goal with all the anti-CCP posting.

They don’t teach about tiananmen square protests in school, but you can literally just go up to your teacher after class and ask about it and they’ll tell you.
I mean, I could probably have gone up to my US History teacher after class and asked about the Bay of Pigs Invasion. I don't know what kind of answer I'd get. But unless this subject was of particular interest, I doubt I'd get more than "Yeah, it happened back in the 60s and had something to do with Cuba getting nukes". Like, not anything even remotely useful or comprehensible.

Americans think the entirety of mainland China is going to do Hong Kong style revolts if they even hear a whisper of a rumor that the government did a civil rights crime 40 years ago.
Nevermind that the Hong Kong revolts were a complete failure or that Hong Kong was in a unique political position relative to the mainland for centuries. You just need to go online and post "Winnie The Pooh did Tianamen Square" enough times and hundreds of millions of people will throw off their shackles (the shackles that give them retirement at age 60, high quality health care, comfortable homes, cutting edge infrastructure, modern entertainment, etc) and do a brand new revolution that reinstalled whatever's left of the KMT hidding out in Taiwan.

Don't ask Americans about Katrina, they literally know nothing about it. Think it was just some big hurricane and that was it
