It would be naïve to believe the west is immune. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

I am curious what (if anything) OP wrote that leads you to believe OP thinks the west is immune?
OP says:

I'm saying it's naïve to believe this, along with the other incidents mentioned within the article, aren't intentional. As if the west is immune to concerted censorship efforts and the only explanation is unconscious bias.

We might intentionally choose to quell the infidel, but the quelling-urge is implicit to ideology-attachment, I think.
