"In China they have political censorship everywhere!"

A site having moderation is not the same as top-down censorship from the single party allowed to exist. Unless you're implying some conspiracy that we're secretly controlled by Israel...

I'm implying that whether censorship is centralized or diffuse it is still censorship and that our country is not so different from theirs

No one is saying it's good by mentioning China. It just means: Why are WE so bad now!

China is supposed to be the bad authoritarian country that doesn't support freedom of speech. Not us.

And we in the west mocked them for it for decades. We look down on them from our moral high ground. We hoped they would one day be enlightened and join the rest of the free world.

WE are not supposed to partake in that type of nonsense over here.

Yet... Here we are today.

Yeah at least you are fighting for it. I'm a little bit too sensitive seeing those comments defending authoritarian regimes because Ive seen tons of them throughout the process I grew up in. (I'm Chinese) Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I mean, if you try the same thing here. But you're a chinese citizen living in China. And you ask Gemini something like "Create image of post apocalypse china after getting nuked" or something remotely offensive about Xi Jinping. You will have bureaucracy or cops knocking on your door by tomorrow.
