- forkLding 8y agoThis article is a long stretch, Tencent hasn't censored Snapchat and Discord because it doesn't need to so why would it bother to censor Reddit? It only does censorship in China or else the Chinese govt will heavily fine Tencent, otherwise censorship is actually an added cost for the company because of time and effort, so why would it make operations more costly when it doesn't need to.
