If the CCP can do it —and they do it to catch all the circumventions Chinese internet users use to try to avoid censorship —which they do successfully, then we know it’s possible and if it’s possible the big players are doing it too.

The CCP doesn't manage to catch all circumventions, AND they are not a multinational firm crossing multiple jurisdictions.

So when we say big players, do you mean FB or do you mean the National Govs?

Side note - the CCP also employs manpower to handle the task, so its not just ML, my point hovers on the ML aspect of it.

The CCP doesn't need to catch them all. A 90% filter with a terrible false positive rate still accomplishes their societal engineering objectives.
