As far as I have seen so far the only complaints are that women (and men) that are scantily clad dancing erotically aka “thirst traps”, insulting people, or overt racism/sexism (God forbid!) are the only things that are banned. I have posted American political stuff, things on Palestine, Luigi… nothing gets banned. I guess posting about Chinese politics would get you banned but as an American wtf would I be doing that?!

I think the most important aspect of the whole thing is in regular people just talking to each other. This was the real promise of the internet to facilitate these kinds of organic connections across the globe. Millions of Americans are now realizing that people in China are just like them, and that they're not their enemy.
