It was absolutely not just social media ban, it was mostly youth protesting against the corrupt government and unfairness, social media ban was one element that was against the freedom of speech, but it was right around the time where everyone was documenting the rich politicians, their business connections and their families that have been living lavishly and just inheriting the election seats from generation to generation and spinning beurocracy to their sides.

I was there a few hours ago. It was a class struggle, but it was bound to be spun up as "kids don't get facebook and throw tantrum".

Quite similar corruption is happening here in America! Donald trump made over $3.8B since getting into office this year, while tanking farming, jobs market, and foreign relations.

He made that with the business he already had and some legal cryptocurrency investment based on capitalizing his fame.

How on earth you call that "corruption"?

Are you even aware of what the word means?

How could "buy and hold my crypto pump and dump or Ill cut aid/hike tariffs to your country" not be corruption?

People who voted for him are still trying to work out in their own heads how he's not a criminal.

They aren't really trying, they admire crooks who get away with it.
