Sure. China bad, USA bad, Russia bad. So? Doesn't make my criticism invalid, nor misinformation.

There's just a biased moderation that censors people that have strong takes against some countries.

I got temporarily banned for a month indeed, but what does that change? Not a lot in my opinion. I won't be going back anyways.

Why do I need to explain my reasoning when it's pretty well known that China isn't the best place to live for human rights? On the other hand, I get banned with no explanation, apart from a "Don't be rude" rule, like what??

Companies censoring speech isn't the same as a country censoring speech. As far as I'm concerned we still have some sort of freedom of press. Btw, where did I say the USA was perfect? I would put it in the bad countries for human rights due to how they treat non-US people (you probably know the many wars/conflicts they've been into and how they feel like they have every rights on other territories like how Isreal was created, or that they can kill civilians in military operations).

Surely the political opponents in Hong Kong are fine and not persecuted as well.

From the little I've read about the report you sent, which I don't have the time to read rn, but might later, I saw multiple things like acts of "disruption of social order" can be considered as terrorist activity. We know that in countries with strong control of the government like China, "terrorism" is often used to justify repression against political opponents. It's even stated in the report (didn't saw that it was as I was writing this)

However, again, a number of the activities listed remain stated in vague and/or subjective terms without further clarification as to the content of what these may encompass, e.g., “disruption of social order and other serious social harm”.

What I'm reading is a lot of bad things. The report is rather incriminating.

It becomes unhealthy when there's a lot of biased instances, which I feel like there is currently

If you’re into political censorship and echo chambers, good for you. I value free speech, debates with diverse opinions

Said China doesn’t respect human rights because they’re doing a Uyghurs genocide, got banned from !memes@lemmy.ml

Yea, China #1, we love that they spy on their citizens, and don't have freedom of speech
