The US and China are not that different in terms of censorship. They just censor different things. I'm sure you can think of half a dozen comments that would get you thrown off this forum, and a couple of others that would earn you a visit from the FBI before the end of the week.
- actionfromafar 3y ago"just" is doing some Superman level heavy lifting there. FBI won't imprison a million people in re-education camps.
- endisneigh 3y agoDoesn’t the United States have to most people in prison?
- bart_spoon 3y agoLargely for violent crime, not thought crimes.
- endisneigh 3y agothere are tens of thousands of people in prison in the United States for possession of weed alone.
- the-dude 3y agoAre you aware of the concentration camps in which the Japanese were 'interned' during WWII? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_America... I'll leave slavery, the Red Scare, Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and all other atrocities out of it for now. This exceptionalism thing is jarring.
- asimpletune 3y agoWhat does the USA censor?
- atlantic 3y agoStart with Assange and Snowden.
- coffeebeqn 3y agoBiden sucks and the FBI are clowns. Yeah go post the equivalent of that on a Chinese ISP to Chinese social media
- atlantic 3y agoThat's token opposition - it doesn't contain anything remotely threatening. Now start talking about Burisma, the son's laptop, the daughter's diaries. That would get you shut down, around the time of the last election.
