    I think there’s a pretty strong argument that a pro-corporate tilt doesn’t result in a difference in content promotion regarding Tibet, Tiananmen Square, Hong Kong, and/or Uyghur.

    You could argue the US military industrial complex might push South China Sea, pro-Taiwan, pro-Ukraine, and pro-Isreal content; that seems distant enough from (e.g.) Facebook, but I’m not sure how we’d tell. We don’t have a major social media platform in a place like (e.g.) Switzerland to study (granted, the way Proton is expanding they might try).

    In any case, I do think it’s pretty damning that China’s direct conflicts, Tiananmen Square and Hong Kong are basically suppressed to the point of being nil.

      How about a difference in content promotion regarding Israel? You know, the country the MiC makes a huge amount of money supporting?
