Don’t know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around “censorship”. In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can’t level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.
Because one is public access to the web, the other is a private platform, and not the web. Facebook and Instagram aren’t the web and aren’t open access to the world’s information. It’s like saying your rights are being trampled on if Walmart bans you from their store. You still have access to food.

With the existence of food desserts and Walmart’s decades long crusade of monopolization this is less true than you think.
Sure, you can still go buy food, but in many parts of rural US it’s now an hour+ trip each way to the gas station and costs 3x as much as you can afford. Meaning in reality you don’t.
You’re making exactly the right-libertarian point the meme mocks.
Explain why you think “private property” should get special privileges.
Because if it’s mine, I can do what I want with it. Did you build it? Contribute anything? It’s only communistic if you actually contribute. People often forget that part of communism. You have to contribute just as much to have a say. Thats why it’s for the WORKERS. So if you aren’t involved, you don’t have a say to my property.
Also, again, your point is moot in the face of my initial comment. The internet is a public utility (Atleast it should be). Facebook is a private one, and isnt yours. You have no right to it if you didn’t contribute
This isn’t really accurate. Communism is about full, collectivized ownership, not tiny cells of cooperatives. Everyone across society should have equal ownership of production across society. We should certainly work towards sublimating private property and eliminating class, but we shouldn’t say that factory A worker A is the only one that has a say about what goes on in factory A, that would go horribly with central planning.
If this is Walmart we’re talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.
Try to use Signal in China.
Pro tip: English is a left to right language.
Pro tip: When reading a meme, meme format/template dictates the reading order, not the language
That seems dumb. It’s a northern-hemisphere language; the Moon waxes/wanes right-to-left in the northern hemisphere.
