    Man, you can lock the whole instance for yourself, you don’t have to make the decision for everyone.

      Blocking doesn’t solve the problem of the misinformation, Russian/Chinese propaganda, genocide denialism and human rights abuse denials they push

      And also, I’m not making a decision for anyone

        genocide denialism

        You have literally witnessed a real genocide for the past 2 years live on TikTok, with multiple daily updates on bombings, murders, and children assassinations. How come there’s not ONE picture of whatever other “genocide” you’re trying to construe leftists deny?

          China is the subject matter expert on censorship and media control, they probably wrote the book on it. Israel by comparison is both new at it and, honestly, I don’t think they cared to hide it that much. China in all likelihood has very good (well good for them anyways…) reasons to do everything it can to keep a tight lid on it

            People on China have widespread and non-prosecuted access to VPNs. This is common knowledge. Media is irrelevant, a single photograph from a mobile phone leaked on the internet would be enough to make New York Times cover. The fact that this hasn’t happened proves enough.

            There isn’t evidence of genocide in China. You can possibly make an argument for police state, but the genocide thing is so thoroughly debunked even wikipedia had to change the article title to “persecution” last year. If you want to have a serious, evidence-based conversation about this instead of the usual ear-shutting and namecalling, I’m fully willing.
