Oh at least (some of) Africa is green, but why tf is Italy greener than China? We have one of the lowest freedom of expression scores in the “international community”

The US and Germany straight up put you in jail if you pirate, that’s not freedumh.

Also French cops can access your phone at every moment, and do who knows what.

Bonus point for green ukkkraine and t*iwan

    The Great Firewall is absurdly misrepresented in the west. I feel like big-C censorship could have been a part of the plan, but the main reason it exists is so that Chinese indigenous tech companies could have a chance to exist and grow. India is again a great counterexample because our freedumb has lead to IT infrastructure getting captured by western corporations like Meta and Amazon. We had an indigenous Amazon counterpart (called Flipkart) but it ended up being bought by Walmart.

      The firewall is also good for westerners cause it protects their feeble fragile minds from hundreds of millions of Chinese shitposters
