No, Li Yi Bar is more of trolling group from self-organized netizens. They do share comfroming ideology as Chines government.
What's banned here is government organized activity.
If this is indeed from Li Yi Bar, then it should not be called government organized activity.
- Aperocky 7y agoAnd the line is very blurred, how do you know there isn't Chinese government affiliated person acting on either government or their own behalf within the Li Yi Bar? The US government employs about 20% of US workers, the Chinese government employs slightly more, and when you say this individual is affiliated with Chinese government, that's not a small likelihood if you just picked up a random working Chinese person.
- tareqak 7y agoWhat matters is whether or not Facebook or Twitter can make this distinction successfully 100% of the time, and whether or not they are perceived as doing so just as successfully.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoIt does not really matter if one can prove that something is government directed, because “coordinated inauthentic” behavior is sufficient reasonable grounds to take action. An individual expressing their own pro-government views from their own account is fine. An individual pretending to be someone else, or multiple people, is not, regardless of the content.
- pishpash 7y agoWhat about multiple people coordinating to express an unpopular opinion together, each of their own volition? You know, kind of like a protest. Just call this what it is, subjective censorship. Of course they give a different reason to skirt by on technicality. But if it were an extremely popular opinion being shared millions of times, it would just be called a viral meme and FB and Twitter wouldn't be making subjective judgements on authenticity.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoWhat about it? It’s allowed. Do you not see the distinction? Inauthentic activity. Fake accounts. So no, this isn’t subjective censorship at all, that’s the point.
