The idea that the John Birch Society single handedly perpetuated the Tienanmen Protests is pretty classic "evil foreigners did this" bullshit propaganda. But I see folks on Lemmy (and even more zealous folks on Reddit) doggedly assert that you can be arrested for saying the words "Tienanmen Square" in public.
Incidentally, you can link information to the contrary on Reddit, and that's also grounds for account suspension, given a critical mass of users slamming the "Report" button.
Every social media site has its orthodoxy and its taboos. Saying anything outside this orthodoxy opens you up to the full toolbox of censorship, depending on the zealousness of the moderators and administrators.
