China's firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.

The US corporate-survellance state already does. If you're living in New Zealand, according to here, your country's entire social media infrastructure is US owned and controlled.

This is completely different. Even though there are big US websites we're still free to travel to any site on the web. Thats not the case in China.

You might not need that but the US has spent the last several years proving conclusively that some people absolutely fucking do need someone controlling the information they consume

Exactly. What the fuck is wrong with everyone in this thread?

Doesn't matter if China is doing it, doesn't matter if the US is doing it. Censorship is evil. Full stop.
