let the Chinese people see what their government is hiding from them? Probably because the government would then ban google. Silly communists, oppression of ideas is for fascist regimes!

Censorship always evil!

Only a communist would spread disinformation about "terrorists" and "governments"! Report yourself to the nearest Termination Centre at once.

Have a nice day-cycle.

Neo : *shrugs* Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the exact same post.

Morpheus : Switch, Apoc!

Neo : What is it?
