Notorious YouTuber [[PewDiePie]] has commented on this.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhWZavn2OvM</ref> (which got him banned in China).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HehfOtRbUk</ref> So have [[libertarian]]s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, through their animated series [[South Park]]. They released an episode entitled, "Band in China," which criticized the communist Chinese government and those who attempt to appease it, and which, ironically, caused the entire series to be banned in China<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/10/07/china-bans-south-park-over-episode-calling-out-countrys-censorship/</ref> (see [[Essay:South Park Is Back!]]).
[[Conservative]] ventriloquist and stand-up comedian Jeff Dunham was once censored in [[Malaysia]] for his puppet which resembles an [[Islam]]ic [[terrorist]].<ref>https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/jeff-dunhams-controversial-character-achmed-the-dead-terrorist-gets-standing-o-in-israel-and-united-arab-emirates-but-malaysia-demands-major-changes-to-act-261527181.html</ref>
