There was also a mobilization to boycott major corporations after some outlandish statements and misgivings towards consumers (i.e. Kelloggs ban). The boycotts also happened around the same time as the doubt about the propaganda war in the Middle East which seem to have precipitated the banning. Similarly, there seems to be increased suppression and censorship related to these issues with lots of creators getting banned for spreading misinformation but not any censorship towards anti-china rhetoric. Interesting hmm?
