"mildly" entertaining, and only because of the real hypocrisy

where suddenly there was mass indignation about it, whereas it was somehow deemed ok when much the same thing happened before.

It wasn't the end of the world you know, a few journalists got taken off twitter for a day. Call the Hague.
Its hardly the CCP or Russia locking dissenters up in labour camps. Get a perspective for god's sake.

They were still free to write for their publications and be interviewed about it on every other news and social media source. They weren't silenced. If anything they got heard louder.
