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

Wow, you're really just running down the checklist of anti China propaganda

What happens if keywords, like uyghur, are mentioned?

[–] Pili@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 hour ago

I just tried, you get cool videos about Uyghur culture

You should make an account and talk with them, it's very rewarding!

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.

that’s probably immediately censored and your account banned… but i think it’s worth a shot
