I get that, but they only restrict content in China because the Chinese government directs them to do so. If they don't comply, they will be shutdown.

In the West, they are not required to restrict content (and that for them es great, if people use the app more for that). I really disagree that there's any conspiracy there.

But it is ironic that people would like Chinese-style censorship on social media now. It's an interesting time to be alive.
