A comment on Disclosing networks of state-linked information operations we’ve removed. Parent comment
I believe we should stand up against dictatorships and challenge them even when we have ties to them.
Being able to say anything and challenge anything is the foundation of freedom, ANY form of censorship threatens that.
People in the U.S. appreciate being able to call out their government leaders I'm sure.
Imagine if you were hauled off at night because of what you posted online.
We should all be standing with Hongkongers on this one.
tldr: the answer to government censorship is not more censorship of phrases ("五毛”) that call them out
