I finally watched that one Britmonkey video about everything banned in China after avoiding it for years, and they claim that the word "disagree" is banned on Chinese social media.
He also claims that they banned the letter "N" kekw
how can anyone take these people seriously?
Did you know that most people living in the people's republic of china go their entire life without being able to say "I disagree with the cpc"? That is because English isn't their main language.
I straight up giggled
The word China is in fact banned in China
A simple Baidu search with Deepl shows you that mentions of Tiananmen square aren't censored in China, it's so stupid what libs believe.
These are the same people that unironically want to ban Z lol
Germany effectively did. German libs love to say that we have "freedom of opinion" here and not freedom of speech, but even that freedom of opinion is being eroded almost by the day.
I mean the thumbnail has a winnie pooh xi, only edgy kids and teens find that funny.
One search on Baidu or Zhihu proves it wrong.
supposedly, the many banned terms were quickly unbanned, but further reading would require being able to read Chinese. which i can't.
for comrades braver than me, here's br*tmonkey's source list for the video: https://pastebin.com/qNQbXyUE
and the source for "letter N was banned" (from the guardian, notorious source of Unbiasedโข reporting about china): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/28/china-bans-the-letter-n-internet-xi-jinping-extends-power
they claim that the word "disagree" is banned on Chinese social media.
How the fuck do people fall for this kind of shit when it's so easily disproven?

I will now apparently commit thoughtcrime: https://s.weibo.com/weibo?q=%E4%B8%8D%E5%90%8C%E6%84%8F
Will update if I get a knock on the door from the seeseepee overseas police that's apparently already in Canada where I am, or if my family in China are threatened. Or if I suddenly stop posting, I guess I'm already in one of the Xinjiang camps by then.
How can pointing out violent supression and the killing of peaceful demonstrators possibly not be informative?

It's not peaceful when PLAs were burnt/killed.

Because that never happened.
You canโt say the N word if there is no letter N๐ -Xi Jinping
Xi Jipig
I thought he looked a lot grainier
Just saw the vid suggested to me like an hour before checking this post, salute ๐ซก, I didnโt have the strength to trudge through that garbage
It also seems most commenters didn't watch the video either. The claim isn't that those words were permanently banned, it's that they were temporarily removed (blocked) from search results untill people calmed down, when they were allowed again.
A simple Google search returns multiple articles with the claim, all linking back to this post from the China Digital Times.
I haven't found claims of the site sharing missinformation.
