In the US you are still very much free to insult the president, etc but if you post things deemed to be pro-terrorist or against what the Government wants to promote on social media, it won't go anywhere. Firearms or vaping content during the Biden admin as an example.
The current admin has heavily gutted the federal funding and workforce that backed these efforts and issued bulletins to private industry, but I suspect there is still pressure from pseudo-government "advocates".

- adamsb6 1y agoYou can buy Winnie the Pooh merchandise in every mall in China. You can't use Winnie the Pooh as code to agitate against the government.
- vorpalhex 1y agoBut here "Winnie the Pooh" is just calling Xi a lazy authoritarian. That's an insult, not "agitat[ing] against the government"
