Any decision about censorship is a compromise of some kind between open communication/access to information and the prevention of the spread of content that could be deemed harmful in some way or another.
Maybe I’m just being thick right now but I’m really not sure who are supposed to be the “children”. It seems it could just as easily be the CCP for being uncompromising in their censorship of the internet, fascist trolls who say they should have a right to use slurs and disinformation to incite violence, or liberals who are unwilling to accept that a hardline stance needs to be taken to censor the fascists.
I’m unsure if this is an enlightened centrist take, you saying the CCP (and similar) do what needs to be done or that we need our freedom and the commenter above is the child. Whatever you mean, your comment (at least to me) comes across a bit rude and unconstructive.
Ok your comment successfully ragebaited me so tbh I’m probably the child.
it means having fair media is more important than letting bad actors be completely free to taint it in the name of some vague idea of freedom.
which is fake anyway, because that freedom is usually suppressed from people in favor of letting oligarchs pretend their evil shenanigans are free speech.
some pretty good shit in there. and nothing the US isn’t doing itself lol.
like, i don’t agree with everything, but they are censoring US propaganda about taiwan? great. or the fascists wanting to go back into a theocracy in tibet? hell fucking yeah. i wish my country cut off the shitty american exceptionalism that makes my country be racist against itself, like the chinese do.
shit, the US could use a quite bit of suppressing of MAGA ideas that are eating your country from the inside, but that’s just me. instead, its censoring socialism.
I mean could be, most people aren’t French and just take most stuff even if it’s not great
having to censor the spread of fascism is not great, but its better than actively spreading it.
Adults make compromises, children throw tantrums.
What do you even mean here?

Sure, I was thinking all the other stuff, like I mentioned
what other stuff are you thinking of, specifically?
Nothing specific, there’s just a lot of stuff on their censorship list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_China#Subject_matter_and_agenda

My country? The amount of Americentrism on this site is too damn much. We’re not all American…
