You don't think they mind the censorship or what do you mean
I mean could be, most people aren't French and just take most stuff even if it's not great
Sure, I was thinking all the other stuff, like I mentioned
Nothing specific, there's just a lot of stuff on their censorship list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_China#Subject_matter_and_agenda
My country? The amount of Americentrism on this site is too damn much. We're not all American...
Adults make compromises, children throw tantrums.
What do you even mean here?
Any decision about censorship is a compromise of some kind between open communication/access to information and the prevention of the spread of content that could be deemed harmful in some way or another.
Maybe I'm just being thick right now but I'm really not sure who are supposed to be the "children". It seems it could just as easily be the CPC for being uncompromising in their censorship of the internet, fascist trolls who say they should have a right to use slurs and disinformation to incite violence, or liberals who are unwilling to accept that a hardline stance needs to be taken to censor the fascists.
I'm unsure if this is an enlightened centrist take, you saying the CPC (and similar) do what needs to be done or that we need our freedom and the commenter above is the child. Whatever you mean, your comment (at least to me) comes across a bit rude and unconstructive.
Ok your comment successfully ragebaited me so tbh I'm probably the child.
Edit: changed CCP to CPC because that is the technically correct term, even though for some reason most English language outlets use "CCP"
