    The BBC reporting like "netizens in China may soon find posts hidden when sharing content like “life is pointless and we should all kill ourselves” " and people in this thread read that as “the CEECEEPEE is Banning people for being SAD”, yep cool, the usual then?

    and here I’m banned from a significant portion of lemmy.world for telling people to not post racist and misogynist bullshit

      I’m especially glad how this government campaign focuses on a clearly defined terminology that differentiates between trolly doom posting and affected people in a bad situation just expressing themselves online. It’s great how they don’t just use subjective terms like “negative content” or “sensationalized” or “trivial” , and then straight punish platforms for posts fitting these very wide terms. Cause you know, platforms definitely won’t be overly careful with what they allow, when there’s a threat of actual punishment. This is definitely a well thought out campaign, that’s well thought out to take care of some unfortunate citizens.
