Wait, we didn't establish that. I got results, and shared them. Searching June 5th Tian'anmen Square comes up with results, as does june 5th tian'anmen massacre.
Either way, yes, censorship is wrong, so is intentionally lying about geopolitical adversaries.
I have found that the results from Baidu do not state whether violence happened or how many were killed in regards to the massacre. The event also seems absent from the Baidu encyclopedia: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%A4%A9%E5%AE%89%E9%97%A8/63708
This is more than a government that doesn't want to acknowledge any violence on their part, it acts to silence discussion around the event and the .ml community's actions replicate that effect (which damns any objectivity the mods have).
