Professor Gao said he had posted his opinion on his personal social media account.
Li Xu was stunned. "Professor, you posted something? How come I didn't see it?"
"Heh..."
Gao Guanghui gave a helpless laugh. "Not long after I posted it, I got a notification from the platform. It was restricted for violating their rules."
"You see? We spoke out, but no one saw it. That's the power of big money for you. They can easily push the information they want people to see into every corner of the world, while completely silencing 'dissenting voices' like ours. So, it's not that we don't want to stop it... it's that we can't."
'So that's how it is.'
A wave of helplessness washed over Li Xu.
He fell silent, not knowing what to say.
He knew Professor Gao was telling the truth. In a public sphere manipulated by corporate interests, the voice of a small fry like him, or even an authority like Professor Gao, was utterly insignificant.
He didn't ask Professor Gao to try speaking out again.
