Microsoft continues to be accused of censorship, deleting “kung flu” comments
Comments are disappearing.
A number of critics of China’s authorities are accusing Microsoft of carrying out pro-Beijing censorship on its LinkedIn platform.
One of them is Budapest-based Adam Laszlo Rocska, CEO of the 21Gram Technology startup, who said on Twitter that his post, a joke at the expense of China’s communist rulers referencing “Kung Flu fighting” had been censored.

Disney censors The Simpsons episode with Tiananmen Square reference in Hong Kong
Censoring for China.
Disney+ has censored an episode of The Simpsons in Hong Kong, where the streaming service recently launched. The episode was censored over references to the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Until June last year, Hong Kong operated separately from China. Hong Kongers enjoyed more freedoms than the mainland.
However, since Beijing enforced the national security law in Hong Kong, the censorship laws enforced in China started applying on the island.
On social media, Disney+ subscribers began reporting that an episode in Season 16 had been removed in Hong Kong.
We’ve managed to confirm that the Season 16 episode “Goo Goo Gai Pan” has been removed in Hong Kong.
The episode had two references to the Tiananmen Square massacre. It featured the famous Tank Man Photo and a plaque with the statement “Tien An Men Square: On this site, in 1989, nothing happened.” People often use the statement to mock the government’s attempts to erase the event from history.
In China references to the Tiananmen Square massacre are heavily censored and is called the “Tiananmen Square Incident.”
On June 4, 1989, in an effort to stop a protest by students about corruption in the government and democratic reforms, the Chinese government sent the army to Tiananmen Square with tanks. The exact death toll from the clash between protesters and the army has never been released, although it is speculated to be in the thousands.
The University of Hong Kong displayed a monument called "The Pillar of Shame" which was placed to remember those who were massacred by the Chinese Communist Government in Tiananmen Square.
There's no shelf life for Justice or Revenge.
We'll probably know more about that, in the mid term elections when the 88,000 IRS Storm Troopers Biden hired starts arresting the millions of Trump supporters, for not paying the Obamacare mandate. Just to chip away at the Republican base.
Pang, who is a pastor, supported an activist who wanted to commemorate the Tianneman Square tragedy.
And because he went against China's communist rulers, due to his Christian conviction, he is now being jailed as if he's a traitor.

I just tried google and bing. Tank man isn’t filtered out.
Good. Another stinky color revolution averted!

I'm no expert. What does McGregor say on the subject?
And it's true. I just tried a search for "tank man" on bing, and he isn't there.

Fortunately, Duckduckgo is still not corrupted by the Chinese yet and you can find the image there:

This guy stopping a column of CCP tanks by just standing in front of them is an event for the history books.
It is inspiring. I saw it when it happened. He was world famous at the time for his courage. I'm sure the CCP has had him killed.
I should quote the Wikipedia right now as well, but they have also proven themselves corrupt so they may censor it too:
