> this is a good thing

> Platforms are to ban any words, images, flags, or other content that express support for the independence of contested territories like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet or Xinjiang. “Messing with or spoofing” the national anthem or singing it in an inappropriate context is also a no-no, as is anything that “ridicules, denies, or attacks major policies” or misinterprets or makes fun of national laws like the constitution.

>TikTok has admitted censoring posts by users it identified as disabled, fat or LGBTQ+ as part of a misguided effort to cut down on bullying on the platform.

These are good things? Did you even read past the headlines? I posted a wiki link because I didn't think you were worth seriously engaging with, and I was right. Have fun being angry.

platforms created by private companies can do whatever they want on them. They are only subject to standards that are set by themselves. You honestly don't think FB, Insta, and Snap censor content or have rules around whats acceptable to post ?

Thank you for posting these. The sources are sufficient but the pro Chinese wumaos clearly can't handle that people are aware of the manipulation they do to and save face.
