Just searched Weibo (Chinese Twitter). 1 hit in like the top 50 on "India," very casual. The hmmm continues

np my Token Chinese powers grows daily. I'm simultaneously super interested and at unease. Referring to tweet:https://twitter.com/krzhang/status/1250200636324376576 …
Yan Zhang added,
Yan Zhang @krzhangNot baffling at all, because this is the best time for power grabs. I actually expect a lot of the power grabby moves and also lobbying (gerrymandering, net neutrality, NRA, assassinations) to be at a high, since everyone else is morally obligated to focus on COVID-19. https://twitter.com/GroundworkProj/status/1247634498826665990 …2 replies 0 retweets 14 likes -

Palmer LuckeyVerified account @PalmerLuckeyThis appears to be a new global policy on YouTube, not directed at me specifically. Try saying anything negative about the 五毛, or even mentioning them at all. Your comment will last about 30 seconds and get deleted without warning or notice, CCP-censor style.

You're not going to see it in Chinese media lol, so your guess = my guess. I think the most likely is that they have some algorithm that censors general "low content" (finding sexist words, slurs, things from flame wars) and this algo will pick up "五毛" or "港独" (HK freedom)

Yeah as long as you keep hmmmming I'll keep humming. I have some tentacles in Chinese Twitter / groups, but everyone is, of course, talking about coronavirus (mostly how stupid the Americans are) and not something like this.

BTW I *don't* buy the "China bought YT" conspiracy, because the pro-china shills (Nathan Rich) etc. are pretty consistently demonitized there. So unless there's a Chinese firewall (har har) within Youtube, it's definitely simultaneously doing "pro-China" and "anti-China" actions
