What about "pro-democracy" activists using twitter or fb smearing the police with their own version of truth?

It seems like twitter judges which version of truth to allow based on whether twitter censorship team likes the arguments or not.

I think it depends, pro-China camp uses bots to share fake news, or out of context articles. While pro-Democracy are just individuals sharing posts where the truth is bend in their favour.

I do find it surprising that the pro-Democracy camp is allowed to share the same post / image, but when pro-China does it, they're all marked as bots or "50cents". It's their way to delegitimise the posts.
