I would think that CCP just forces them to penalize certain things (and maybe promote other things) and in the west they merely don't do that (both for engagement and to avoid getting canceled for censoring certain topics). Compared to

Not bad. I think it could be nice if there was possibility of mode with just more or lesser known flag. Like only countries with > 1 million population or 20 or more percentile of countries by population.

But the UI is rather klunky. Example is using uBlock Origin to block random element on page. You must: 1) click kebab menu icon 2) scroll all the way down 3) click ublock icon 4) on another screen click "enter element picker mode"
