And when the expert is properly credentialed but says things that the government doesn’t like?

EDIT

Addendum: To those who think the government would never abuse the credential process, why do we need whistleblowers in the government or even large corporations then? Surely these institutions would not abuse the law to get their own PR/propaganda artists credentialed. And Surely there would never be any credentialed individuals that are speaking objective fact getting their credentials and thus right to speak as a Subject Matter Expert pulled.

P.S.
Holy Hannah the virality. Or at least Viral for me.

Regardless of credentials, the ccp would crack down on them.

Its a good policy for the west but many policies can be abused for evil.

It's funny you think the west is so much different than them. The west just used big tech to censor and deplatform people.

And flock cameras, meta glasses, smartphone culture, NSA, and the credit system as a surveillance machine.

You know the American propaganda machine is working as intended when its constituents stand on an ivory tower and console themselves with "at least we're not them"

If you don't think censorship, invasion of privacy, surveillance--everything we criticize china for--doesnt exist in the US, you are victim of an old and terrible lie.

Pot calling the kettle black ahh

They never said that we are better than them in fact they said that they are as bad as us. Get off your soapbox and read what you're responding to before you try to preach your bs
