Well said Joel, yes China is only restricting their own people's freedom of speech, so what I was implying is that the planet is going the way of China, who are the biggest suppressors of free speech at home. And in time it looks like China are gradually imposing their style of restriction on the world, or the world will adopt the style of China - with social credit score and mass surveillance. So if you say or do anything against the dictatorship, you are hit with sanctions by a lowered social credit score.
