2/12 Bethany's main argument is Twitter is a private company, it has the "FREEDOM“ to ban Trump. In her argument, she uses gov't official (incl. Xi) as comparison, i.e. she takes Trump's role as a gov't official. Wrong here. gov't is different from gov't.
3/12 The US has 3 branches, legislative, judicial, executive (headed by Trump).In today's, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is above the law, legislative is a rubber stamp controlled by CCP, gov't is appointed by CCP. In CCP, the leader (一把手) is everything, he (Xi) is the God
4/12 Constitution saysis a 人民民主专政(People's Democratic DICTATORSHIP) country, a Socialism country and Communism is the final goal. This is in its Constitution, CCP never covered up or lied about this.
5/12 What is People's Democratic DICTATORSHIP? Briefly, if you are not with me, you are my enemy & you shall be either converted (this is all the Uighurs re-education camp about) or eliminated spiritually and physically (also Uighurs, or Falun Gongers) butdidn't lie, it's...
6/12 ... backed up by its Constitution, it's legitimate in the context oflegal system. That's why so many Chinese youths support the suppression of Uighurs or Falun Gongers. So don't use double standards to criticizefor that. Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying this is RIGHT
7/12 When idiots like PM @JustinTrudeau says he admires's basic dictatorship, he has no clue what dictatorship is. Basically, anyone (a lot of youths) who admires communism, whetheror's, is b/c they never taste the Socialism "Iron Fist"(社会主义铁拳).
8/12 In that context of "People's Democratic DICTATORSHIP", censorship is legitimized in. Media (social or traditional) self-censor to meet the gov't (NO, not gov't but CCP's) directives. Yes, the directives are obscure, and dynamic, but it is Constitutional
9/12 For the situation in , let's replace Trump w/ Dan Bongio, or Parler. The Freedom of Speech is in the 1st Amendment of US Constitution. Many Trump supporters lost their jobs for supporting a legitimately elected President. Where are the Freedom of Speech for them?
10/12 Is Twitter a private company doing its censor alone? No. It's all Big Techs AND the Democratic Party hunting down & prosecuting Trump supporters (Cruz, Hawley, Parler, @thecjpearson etc),this is what Sheldon Wolin called "Inverted Totalitarianism" https://twitter.com/NaomiWong1984/status/1348122840067817477
11/12 Has any Democrats or Liberals been banned by Twitter for hating Trump or inciting violence?
Democratic Party now has the legislative & executive branches. Will Twitter ban Biden (gov't official) for HB's criminal acts? No, Twitter only bans the news bad for Biden.

12/12 In conclusion, the situation in is worse than in . Chinese can expect what is allowed, what is not.
Canadians/Americans just found out Freedom of Speech is a LIE.
Let me cite former CCP Jiang's quote: You guys (baizuo 白左) are "too simple, sometimes naïve". /end
