The Chinese government is all about censorship, and this time, they are being effective at silencing coronavirus critics in the United States. As Chinese tech companies have gone global, so has China’s ability to censor information outside of the mainland.
VICE News spoke to dozens of WeChat users in the U.S. and Canada, as well as some users in the U.K., France, Spain, Australia, Germany, and Malaysia, who reported identical problems with their accounts as they tried to share information with their family and friends in China.
The restrictions will prevent international users from sending any information to contacts in China. In some cases, they have also had their accounts suspended or blocked completely and accused of “spreading malicious rumors.” In many cases, the censorship means their only communication link to people inside China has been cut off completely, according to a report by VICE News.
If someone attempts to get information that is not approved by the Chinese government to people living under the tyranny there, they will likely be silenced, if not punished.
WeChat is a unit of Tencent, one of China’s largest tech companies, which also happens to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Now users in the U.S. are calling for Congress to intervene to preserve their freedom of speech, however, free speech is all but dead in the U.S. too. And the politicians claiming authority over the rest of us are unlikely to do much if anything about it.
“Tencent is the evil helper of a totalitarian government that suppresses freedom of speech and democracy,” one WeChat user who lives in Philadelphia and wanted to remain anonymous due to fears of retribution, told VICE News. “They delete or block your posts if they think it promotes democracy and challenges the government. It violates my civil rights as a U.S. citizen. I came to the U.S. for freedom. I thought I escaped from the threat of the Communist Party. But I’m wrong, I still live in terror because Tencent is monitoring my WeChat and may report me to the Chinese authorities.”
Things aren’t much better in the U.S. where companies like Facebook, Google, and YouTube delete or censor information that isn’t government-approved. In fact, the World Health Organization and Google have been working together to censor coronavirus information.

Tencent did not respond to specific questions about its censorship of international users but sent an emailed statement saying it was “committed to providing a secure and open platform” for all its users.

Exactly what did the governments and corporations think that everyone would do with social media and the internet? Tweet and chat about how magnificent they all are? Probably!
Yellow man bad
There is a glimmer of hope in this dark abyss. Today a Judge ruled in favor of the four U.S. diplomats who insisted on doing what is right, rather than what they were instructed to do, and refused to leave the U.S. embassy in Venezuela to make room for self appointed interim president Juan Guaido, and were dragged out of the embassy by the Secret Service and charged with crimes.

Speaking of censorship….. The Civil Rights Act was designed to eliminate Individual Rights. The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice is the communist enforcement office. Think about it. While it’s still legal to think.
..you no want to buy silk dress for me Joe?
How Much?
Bat girl was kind of cute. It was a shame that I couldn’t trust her around the family dog.
As we allow, so shall we reap.
yesterday I wrote some comments to natural news about the epidemiology, I’m retired, they are lying, the math is wrong, etc.
so, get this, it gets blocked! Start talking, not emailing, talk to your neighbours, friends, talk person to person, use a phone.
it’s time to pay attention to nutrition, overall health, disease resistance, antiviral foods, herbs, vitamins, and if not now, when?
ChiComs at work.
TechMonopoly bully Tyrants at work.

gaggle-twatter-YouKooks-snoop gmail-FarceBook: Get rid of it ALL. These tech Tyrants are Evil pro Commies.
Yeah, that’ll bring the infection down….
A terrorist by any other name is still a terrorist. Those who violate the constitutional rights of others, and those deliberately engaged in spreading harmful disinformation which threatens national security, ( like lying about Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Bolivia, Syria, just to name a few of the countries that the epsilon journalist terrorists attack based on totally false allegations) are terrorists, whether they carry the titles of representative, senator, police, FBI, CIA, NSA, governor, military, banker, CEO, tech employee, journalist, charity, clergy, teacher, professor. America is run and controlled by terrorists violating the constitutional rights of the sovereign with clear, deliberate, premeditated intent to harm, We The People. They are guilty of treason, bribery, high crimes, violations of federal RICO laws, and scores of other high crimes. All of the evidence proves it!
China is cooking off its dissidents, dissenters and other miscreants. Look at the heat charts that show how much burning is going on at their crematoriums. There is little else going on in China but the crematoriums are going full tilt.
If the virus is as bad as they say or not, the opportunity is not being missed to clean up society.
China, of course, has a long history of doing this sort of thing when the unrest becomes too much. Keep in mind, the protests in Hong Kong were spreading into China and they had to take action. The big anniversary is coming up and the promise was to become the number one global economy and to urbanise and lift all their people out of poverty. If you are going to hit those goals it might make sense to reduce the numbers by several millions, and what better way to do that than to a) collect precise data through the social credit system as to who is the best and worst in your population, then b) round up the worst and cook them off in an epidemic.
Look to Africa being next. China wants to migrate much of its population there to make the most of the fertile land but there are low IQ squatters in the way.
