@tofugolem I'm going to guess that the Chinese .gov will see the propaganda value and tamp down on anything that gets to be too out of hand. They are very good at and have lots of experience with keeping the ferment of social media down to a dull roar.

I'm guessing the US gets age restrictions and some not particularly difficult technical solutions (dns overrides, blackhole routing of certain networks, etc.).

And yes the US repression will be overt even if the US propaganda is all about defending the homeland from the red scare. The despotism playbook dictates that censorship be known to exist even as it's true extent and subjects are obscure.

Effing interesting times.
