"“Criticisms of the government in social media (even vitriolic ones) are
not censored,” King et al reported, “whereas any attempt to physically
move people in ways not sanctioned by the government is censored.” And
the strange thing is that “even posts that praise the government are
censored if they pertain to real-world collective action events”."
There's more than one kind of censorship. Any hint of collective action
scares authoritarians far more than criticism does.
