I imagine it could be if you were a minority or a political dissident.
The fact that so many people went through sexual and gender self discovery on Tiktock, but such things are discouraged by the government in China says a lot that makes me uncomfortable.
Not being able to openly criticise the government and its policies also doesn’t sit well with me.
It’s not my government though, so that’s where my criticism ends. If that’s what the majority of people want, that’s just democracy by another avenue. So long as people are allowed to leave if they choose, then that’s fine.

I guess it makes sense not to use one’s psyops arsenal at one’s own people.
oh, it is… notice no questions about suicide nets being installed on factories… or the tiananmen square massacre….
or people getting disappeared for speaking against the government….
or the Uyghur genocide that’s ongoing….
but hey, i trust a few screenshots of bots talking on an app though
AFAIK often on Chinese services you’ll get an error like “your message could not be delivered”. Posts managing to discuss forbidden topics might be removed without warning, or just be silently hidden so they don’t reach new people.
The goal is not so much to prevent anything from ever talking shit about the government, but to make those conversations difficult and to stop them from reaching a wide audience.
Wait, China’s not a dystopian nightmare?
If you’re not against the powers that be, it’s great. Like, for instance, I don’t know, Nazi Germany was.
Nazi Germany became pretty bad for the Nazis too in the end. Fascist warmongering usually ends that way.

Go try it.
Wow, you’re really just running down the checklist of anti China propaganda

Lol no
What happens if keywords, like uyghur, are mentioned?

I just tried, you get cool videos about Uyghur culture
You should make an account and talk with them, it’s very rewarding!
that’s probably immediately censored and your account banned… but i think it’s worth a shot
God, Westerners really are the most propagandized people on earth
