> The concern is deep, adversarial manipulation of public sentiment

You mean letting U.S. citizens see the flour massacre video on a platform where the security state can’t ban it.

This bill languished for years until that happened.

I can see information on this specific event on Wikipedia, CNN, Youtube, etc right now; all "western-controlled". It's also available through Al-Jazeera, Reuters, and other foreign sources.

You have an interesting and unique definition of "state censorship". Almost like one defined by a bias inherently interested in letting specific foreign interests continue to proliferate under the guise of an emotional appeal.
