    There is substantially less control of media and internet in the west as compared to china.

    “it doesn’t count as being controlled by the government because the guy who owns the government controls it directly”

    There is no argument that you can make that isn’t stupid because you are wrong.

    • You’re a fuckin moron man. You can easily find any of the so called “censored items” with mainstream search engines like google or even just on Facebook or reddit. What are these so called banned topics that you say exist anyways?

        I honestly can’t tell if you’re just too prideful to admit you’re wrong. I don’t believe any present minded, awake person could be naive to the concept of a discovery algorithm. So you setting the bar at ‘you can literally find it if you know what you’re looking for and try’ for government control of thought and discourse seems genuinely in bad faith.

        • Give an example. Russian news outlets and far left ideology are both too unpopular to be common even without suppression. They’re not examples of censorship.

            Come back to your own comment and read it again. Do you understand why it’s a stupid point?

            You don’t have to suppress smallpox. It’s nowhere to be found!
