Do you know the difference between the internet and the World Wide Web?

Accessing the dark web is illegal in China, for example. They reduced access to the internet to government regulated websites, who must apply and be approved by the Chinese government to be accessible within the Great Firewall.

Sure, and in the US companies like Google heavily distort search algorithms to make it so that the vast majority of people see only what's already approved.

So you don’t like that your point was disproven and are now comparing corporate manipulation of their own services to governmental control of the entire internet?

Get real.

What did you "disprove?" It's absolutelty comparable to acknowledge that no matter where you are, the internet is deiberately censored and distorted to curate a narrative, regardless of if its corporate owned or government owned.

Are you serious? Read the thread again.

Just because you either refuse to accept, or fail to comprehend the difference between a corporation manipulating an elective platform and a government maintaining complete control over anything transmitted over the internet, does not mean you are correct.

It means you’re stubborn. Lol

You're still confusing the internet and the web.
