    I feel like someone could write an essay for everything that’s going on here.

    subdomain isn’t redirecting correctly. Just says the domain doesn’t exist.

      It doesn’t exist, and I doubt it ever did, which means this is photoshopped or they flag all .cn or at least all .news.cn links that way. I’m leaning toward the later, but I don’t have a Xitter account so I can’t verify.

      Edit to add: Probably anything news.cn, which legitimately is state media.

        AFAIK Twitter started flagging every .cn link as “Chinese state media” a few years ago already. Could be the same with .ru and .ir.

          Apparently this is an old tweet, pre-Musk even.

          The China Project, Mar. 2022: Twitter mocked for new rule targeting Chinese state-affiliated media. Twitter thinks Peepee.poopoo.news.cn is an official Chinese government news source.

          The application of the label, however, is problematic due to its automatic nature: Users found out that any URL that ends with “.news.cn” can trigger the label, regardless of its validity or actual affiliations with state media.

          I don’t think that is problematic given that the Chinese state owns the “news.cn”. I see that some people said it had been applied to all “.cn” domains, but I don’t see evidence of it.

          In any event, Xitter later dropped this practice. What the state of it is today I couldn’t say and don’t really care because Xitter.
