Yes, any government when you account for overall reach. Just because some governments have censored more content to date, doesn’t mean they’re more powerful than the US tech monopolies.

If a link can’t be shared on Facebook, Google, or Twitter, it may as well not exist in most of the world.

Well those governments are “more powerful” because they can jail their citizens and kill them. The threat of death has an amazing ability to keep people quiet.

Heck when you can literally close off entire markets, private corporations censor themselves.
