I framed it as something hypothetical because it hasn't happened yet, they haven't censored something international, at least AFAIK.

It’s already happening. What makes you think otherwise? It says so right there that they have this throttling system. You really think they designed this system and it’s never been used before?

I edited the comment to make it clear that its possible they are already doing this.

Also I'm taking about international discussions, not them throttling local news/"misinfo".

Because if they middle in international topics, then they are doing exactly what they are accusing China of doing, And is IMO a much bigger thing than fighting local "misinfo"
