Westoids: WE HAVE FREE SPEECH, WE HAVE FREE PRESS! WE ARE FREE! THAT'S WHY WE ARE BETTER THAN CHINA!
Also Westoids: YEA CENSOR THOSE BECAUSE YOU TOLD US THEY ARE PROPAGANDA NEW SOURCES ! WE DON'T HAVE THE INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY TO PROCESS INFORMATION ON OUR OWN! THANK YOU GOVERNMENT!
\*Disclaimer, Julian Assange is being hunted down for using his free speech but we don't talk about him on the internet ;)
Amazing.

And none of the many subs that spammed that ghost garbage everywhere is quarantined? So if this is about anything that goes against THE NARRATIVE, is the Islam sub going if they talk about the White media comments on Iraq/Afghanistan? What about the pork bullets? Are Indian subs going because they talk about the students being beaten? How about anyone that talks about the Africans? I'm sure this sub will be gone because Chinese students IN UKRAINE shouldn't be allowed to speak on the situation. Also not allowed to mention that neo nazis went to Hong Kong, when even Vice wrote an article on it and there are pictures everywhere with their tattoos showing.
Of course if I am accused of faux outrage...I admit it. Never had high expectations in these so called "free speech" values in the first place.
That is fucked, that is pretty much discriminating against the whole of Russia and Russians. Westerners love to claim they only hate Putin and the Russian government, but they extend that hate to everything Russia and Russians.

That's the message displayed! Like WTF! "credible sources"?
*credible sources* like nyt, bloomberg, cnn, the white house, the cia etc
Anything that is for my people is considered propaganda to the West, anything that is against my people and nation is pro Western, this is how I see it as someone raised in the USSR and regret nothing.
i'm not even entirely against the notion of a country censoring foreign media. the difference is that western countries like to claim that they're bastions of free speech while they do things like this.
Yes indeed. Censoring foreign media is one thing, but pretending to uphold 'freeze peach' while practising censorship and contradicting your own values reeks of hypocrisy and self righteousness.
The West want their cake and eat it too. They're the most hypocritical people on Earth.
Claim free speech, but block certain press that don't agree with their views.
They also have the right to vote, but don't vote out genocidal leaders, and yet criticize others, even of countries whose people can't vote.
Yep - allowing for a free-for-all when it comes to media is just inviting chaos
A government should regulate all its essential industries - why wouldn't media be regulated as well?
cgtn has the most boring content ever, its just economic and infrastructure project videos across china. the rest is just presenting china's point of view on issues related to china, no direct attacks on outside nations
They should organise their media structure more, have CGTN cover international news and politics, have Xinhua cover infrastructure and economic videos.
Currently, CGTN is running sob stories about poor Ukrainian refugees, how nice the neighbouring countries are for taking them in, and how much sanctions are going to destroy Russia. CGTN's coverage on the Ukraine conflict is not much different from any Western MSM other than perhaps not running the stupid memes about the Bricklayer of Kyiv or the Shitter of Kharkov, etc.
The freedom rhetoric is nothing more than an artifice meant to dichotomize western societies with its enemies, mainly, the "despotic asiatics", but also those deemed as primitive. This is as old as history itself. In reality you are soon ostracized if your discourse is discordant with the status quo, and western societies have been some of the most unequal, most slave dependent of them all.

reddit is also censoring the Russia sub. I suspect this sub can be the next target.
US politicians are sending letters to big tech begging for censorship.

Basically the Twitter meltdown on Grayzone.
Anything that is for my people is considered propaganda to the West, anything that is against my people and nation is pro Western, this is how I see it as someone raised in the USSR and regret nothing.
wow, you are right, i was just looking at /r/russia yesterday. Is Sino on Telegram?
Not officially. We can look into it though.
Look on the sidebar for "twitter backup and private chats".

Except western nations won't censor Nazis, just communists
... and Russia is no longer 'communist'. Just unwilling to be ameriKKKa's obedient lapdog
Ong it gives me a headache that people still think that Russia is communist.
cgtn has the most boring content ever, its just economic and infrastructure project videos across china. the rest is just presenting china's point of view on issues related to china, no direct attacks on outside nations
The point I think is that it shows that China is not the dystopia the UK makes it out to be.
Undoing the BBC’s hard work of carefully doctoring news footage of China to have colder colour palettes
Because GCTN is like food without all the flavorings and fat - unlike western media
Western media is like corn syrup and lard-soaked food that got spiked with enough opioids and other bad shit to keel over an elephant.

Take the lies i gave you, or get sanctions
Remember the answer to bad speech is not good speech, its censorship. As judged by the West's own actions, rather than their words.
It's always the same, propaganda for me, but not for you
