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

They depicted India as less censored than China. For context, the Indian state has been imprisoning critical journalists without trial by abusing colonial era sedition laws. Recently they arrested journalists from Newsclick based on a New York Times article that falsely accused of them being funded by the Chinese. They also cut off the internet in an area when shit goes south.

Yea China may have a wallled internet but they don't shutdown the internet like India does. You can get past the wall fairly easy too.

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
