CCP Gains Control of Google

The Chinese Communist Party(CCP) has gained control of Google(Youtube). Is this a bug or a feature? That answer is above my paygrade, from Daily Wire [1]:

YouTube says it was a system “error” that caused the platform’s moderation system to delete comments critical of China’s Communist Party and not the work of a heavy-handed YouTube censor.

The Verge reports that YouTube users began flagging the disappearance of YouTube comments containing the Chinese characters for the words “communist bandit” and “50-cent party,” both of which are phrases typically deployed against the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP.

It might be prudent to view the current unpleasantness in Hong Kong as a CCP test run and plan for the rest of the world.
