This is different from us how?
> That is different entirely from what the typical Western country censors: advertising illegal drugs, child porn, hate speech, etc.
China also censors illegal drugs, child porn, "hate speech", etc.
You are right. China censors for the good of their own citizens and our censors do so for the good of us. Oh wait, that sounds exactly the same.
I love people who conflate "hate speech" with child porn and illegal drugs. Is physics "hate speech" to flat earthers? Should we censor physics? What's next? Hate thought? Should we monitor people's brain for hate thought. Science itself is hate speech to religious people. Should we censor science?
There are lots of facts that people on both sides consider "hate speech". For example, I consider your support of censorship hate speech. Should you be censored?
Just as I said, these people love censorship in the US but hate censorship in china. Makes me wonder who and what is pushing and funding such anti-liberal and anti-western "hate speech" in the US. In all my time on the internet, I haven't come across such openly fascistic and anti-liberal "hate speech" until fairly recently.
If it's somehow an incitement to an immediate illegal action then it may be. Otherwise it's not.
In the US, hate speech isn't like being offended, it's not in the eye of the beholder. It's been covered a number of times by the Supreme Court.
And China is quite different from the US wrt free speech. US courts take a very dim view of restrictions to political free speech. It's quite a stretch to say the same about China. In fact, I'd argue that there are plenty of Western democracies who are less lenient in that regard than the US.
So it's not.

I know. The point is that these people want hate speech to be illegal like it is in many other western nations. They want more censorship for the US, less in china.
