They are platforms designed mostly for signaling, not really discussion. The purpose of Facebook and Twitter is for people to shout hey look at me look at me I am one of the virtuous people! and to unleash vitriol against anybody who expresses dissent.
The PRC is probably jealous as fuck of Facebook. It's the perfect establishment tool to manufacture and enforce consent. It's basically puritanism online. Most people are shouting how they are down with the puritan program, and anybody who is caught not expressing that or dissenting from it is attacked, punished, shamed, and shunned.
It's actually genius if you think about it.
