Ok, then it should be as easy to find a less censored version somewhere on the Chinese Internet, as I've done for the US internet in this thread. Or even simply find such information at all on the Chinese Internet, chatbot or otherwise.

But I think you know perfectly well what I'm talking about and why you're begging the premise pretty hard.

Easy mode Bonus

Just did these with mage.space. Want to test "US Censorship" more?

Edit - This one is amazing lmao

Or because there's an objective, easily demonstrated difference between top down censorship and individual censorship.

This is objectively wrong though. There are many degrees and methodologies for censorship. A private company choosing the scope of its own products is very different from censorship imposed by fiat from the top down.

Because people have an interest in minimizing Chinese censorship due to the belief that China is perfect and cannot do better.

I'm pretty sure mage.space will happily make images of Trump kissing Biden.

I honestly don't know where he keeps getting the heroin

I think it's a bad idea to mix the two tbh.

I used a Google VPN, and now my dog is addicted to heroin.

Damn, people here really misunderstand the threat surface. The Google VPN is just fine for staying safe from things like rogue wifi hotspots and even Stingray devices to some extent. It's also makes it much harder for your ISP to data mine your web activity. Obviously if you have an Android device using Google services, Google already has access to pretty much any information they might get from the VPN service. If you are de-Googled, then obviously you'd never use this.

For the vast majority of people, privacy should be what happens outside of your curated public image. Everyone has a public image. If you try to be completely dark all the time, chances are you will slip up and just end up in an even worse position because you don't understand when or how you've lost control. This is counterintelligence 101. Real first day stuff, but so many of the 'pop-security' influencers on the internet struggle with it, because they don't have any practical CI training. However, having a public image doesn't mean you cede all control to every observer. Obviously there are many choices for VPNs, but for everyday use, this VPN Google bundles with various other products is generally high quality.

I am in the number one or two HCOL area in the US and a bag of carrots at Aldi is like $0.79. At the local bulk market, it's like $20 for a 40lb box of big dick carrots with greens and shit still attached.
