When I was younger than now I really hate Chinese censorship on the internet I felt it was a rule to grab humans right because of the words I want to say I can’t say it everywhere and every place even on social media but now I felt maybe for China I think this censorship rules is good for current situation because a lot of people will be affect by some wording because a lot of people they do not have enough knowledge or recognize the ability — they cannot judge if the news is fake or not – so sometimes if a lot of people will be affected by fake news, then they maybe will do some excited / extreme / bad things because a lot of people especially in T2-5 cities maybe they didn’t accept some good education – they don’t have ability to recognize to judge the news informations correction. So I think for this way – Chinese government should continue to keep these rules to censor the wording…the news…
