Literally only one of those is a legitimate political position. “Taiwan Independence”. And it's a position you're allowed to broadcast on RedNote if you show any sort of knowledge and tact.

Hong Kong was liberated in 97, and apartheid was slowly dismantled afterwards, and they'll eventually be liberated from liberalism and then capitalism when it's possible. Nothing platitudes don't make that happen faster. If you care about the liberation of Hong Kongers, then do real political activism in Hong Kong with real policy suggestions.

What does remember Tienanmen Square 1989 mean? Because to me and any reasonable content moderator, it looks like you're trying to say "People died, be angry!" as opposed to actually advocating or cautioning about anything actionable. Are you making an anti-CIA appeal? Anti-IMF? Pro-IMF? Pro-Mao? Anti-Deng? Are you trying to say "If the soldiers weren't unarmed, we could've avoided bloodshed"? Because then you're basically saying soldiers acting as police should've shot then innocent people, which is illegal. You're advocating for violence, of course that's going to be removed by moderators. Of course you're not actually trying to say anything at all, because you are both politically illiterate, and because you know nothing of the event. Instead what you're trying to say is "I've seen a lot of photos of tank man, and I heard the Chinese censored news about the gunfights, I am very invested in that act of censorship failing because my government told me to be". That's not advocating for anything, you're just attacking the state, armed with rumour. Outside of China, in most countries, you're allowed to do that. But that doesn't make it not trolling.

Xi Jingping, the normal-skinned human is not a yellow bear. If you want to call Xi greedy or a messy eater or whatever else you imagine Winnie The Pooh communicates beyond a stereotype attacking all east Asians, then say that instead. Because otherwise it's just going to look like you're being racist, which should be removed.

Why when you want to demonstrate censorship on Rednote do you choose topics which legitimately should be moderated, if only for community vibes. Do you want 'Free Speech Absolutist' edgelords setting the tone for the platform?

The difference here is that TikTok did not enforce censorship on content related to the genocide in Palestine, nor did it have a right-wing bias in the algorithm like, say, Twitter does.

This shift in censorship puts TikTok in line with Twitter and Facebook/Instagram on the propaganda narrative that they want on their platform. Which is a massive issue for anybody left of white supremacists who cares about free speech and facts.

Yes, you're right. "This population under a genocide should liberated" and "Chinese man is yellow bear lol" are equivalent forms of conversation. Absolutely heroic.
