Quiet hypocritical considering all social media is banned in China for usual citizens

From TFA:

"LinkedIn is also the only major American social media platform not blocked in China because the company has agreed to censor posts containing delicate material."

Is LinkedIn really "social media", though? From the perspective of a non-user, everything I've heard about it suggests that it's purely work-focused.

[chelmzy → fouric]

You would think so but it looks more and more like Facebook everyday.

there are plenty of chinese social media platforms. weibo, qq, tieba, wechat, etc.
