I think people need to understand, that there is no "absolute truth" but rather a view point on both sides. And to protect each system of values, implicit (by ignoring) or explicit (by blocking, invalidating) censorship takes place and both micro and macro level. People find rationalization for their system of believes and governments take use of that. Ignoring that would be just another narrative to ignore western own violent history. Everyone simply tries to protect their own interests in the national and economic conflict of powers.
- Think about why is narrative around Russia so much different than any other NATO or US "intervention" in the past?
- Why is TikTok controlled by Chinese gov, worse than FB, with majority stakes with a single man, controlled by US?
For the largest portion of the world, in both cases, those are all foreign governments protecting their own interests.
