I would argue the same for Twitter and Facebook. Yet the same people said blocking those was authoritarian censorship.
They both suck for sure. That's why we're here in the first place.
Here's a question to consider; without making any statement on the facts of these particular cases specifically, is it conceivable to you that there could ever be a situation where two countries could institute these specific bans for materially different reasons?
What I'm asking is, does a universe exist where country A bans access to Facebook, Twitter, etc for entirely or almost entirely different reasons than country B banning access to Tiktok?
