Coming soon to a city near you. They already jail people for questioning the holocaust in Europe.

You're, unfortunately, right.

And censorship is never used to defend the truth,
since the truth never needed censors/inquisitors.

Censorship is always used to protect some bullshit
(ideology/religion, e.g. Islamism)
from the truth.

And it's getting worse.
Sociopathic turds that claim
to 'protect' people from 'dis/misinformation'
control more and more what
you're allowed to see.

Most notably, in Europe,
if you want to reach RT for example
to get a Russian perspective on global affairs,
good luck, because ....

DAS IST VERBOTEN!!!

... for your own good, of course. :/

There's probably more CCP agents in America than the whole HK population

Thank God he wasn't in Scotland! He'd have been shot! Seriously, though, China has a right to create and enforce it's own laws and just because you're a tourist doesn't mean you get a pass. Sounds like he was targeted because of his ancestry and involvement in the Hong Kong protest movement, but still, don't go to China and expect to get a pass. What was he thinking?

He was arrested for posting political opinions.
Persecuting him over this kind of thing is oppressive and totalitarian.
And, unfortunately, you're right, this is also, shockingly,
the same path that Scotland is choosing.
