Many likely are but I disagree on it generally being the reason. Most places are blocked due to the Chinese law requirement of having servers in China to operate in China.
I do think it is deliberate. Before Wikipedia was blocked, you specifically could not visit the page on Tiananmen Square.
I'm going to be entirely honest here so please don't take this the wrong way but no one here could give less of a fuck about western propoganda and their ridiculous exaggerations and views of events being censored. If anything the west could benefit from stronger censorship of the many Hitlerite views that gain traction over their like double genocide theory, the great replacement etc.
No worries, honest difference of opinion. I think open discourse is helpful for overcoming bigotry.
Yeah open discourse did wonders for the Rohingya, for vaccinations in SEA etc. you really are completely detached from reality.
I don't understand the point of arguing with people pointing out that there is censorship in China if you are pro-censorship.
Because your massive exaggeration of it is ridiculous unhelpful and based entirely in fantasy. Censorship when applied correctly by the working class against its class enemies is good. Censoring Nazis is good. Reality is complicated (honestly this being a key point you refuse to grapple with being a large part of why everything I've seen you post is a mix of uninformed, detached from reality and utopian nonsense)
