They are censoring comments, not my videos

So as you know, I've had two videos that went viral, were more or less critical of the Anwar Ibrahim government. And one of the videos was removed by TikTok on the basis of it being mass reported by PH supporters, I believe, who said that it was bullying and harassment. And so it was removed for violating, community standards. Now the second video is the one that I did about the Tesla and Starlink deal, which I was critical of. And that video, just disappeared from my timeline.

No notification, no community standard violation, nothing. It just vanished. What occurs to me is that whoever is responsible for the removal of these videos, it's not so much because of the videos themselves, but because of the comments sections of those videos. Because the comment section on both of those videos was absolutely flooded with criticism of the government, and the comment section is a better, barometer of public opinion than the opinion of a foreigner. So the fact that it was shared and the fact that it was, viewed so many times also isn't necessarily an indicator of agreement, on the part of the public.

But the comment section was often much more scathing in their criticism of the government than anything that I said. So I think that the videos were more likely removed because of the comment section. Because the comment section reveals deep and wide public disapproval of the performance of this government. Now again, as I've said before, the last time that a video of mine was removed, if this actually is a case of censorship ordered by the government. I'm not sure if that's the case now.

But if it is that if that is the case, obviously, this isn't the way that you should proceed. Obviously, what you should do is listen to the population, listen to criticism, listen to voices that disapprove of your performance, and try to address their concerns. But for future, I would suggest if I do a video that is critical of the government, whether it's the Anwar government or some other government, if I do a video that is critical, don't comment. Just watch it, share it, like it, if you if you do like it, and don't comment because I think that that governments find the comment section maybe a little disturbing in that it reveals actual public sentiment more than the a single voice being expressed in a video. A single voice expressed in a video can be dismissed as not particularly important, but when the comment section is flooded with people who agree with that voice, with that disapproving or critical voice and they amplify and even intensify their criticism in the comment section, that could potentially be more troubling to any government than the voice of one particular critic.
