It's not hyperbolic in any way. It's a simple, sober, literal explanation of how the Chinese censorship apparatus functions. I have no idea why you're bringing up electrical interface standards; they seem completely irrelevant to questions of civil rights to me. The W3C standards (which are not RFCs) seem barely less irrelevant; we are talking about what viewpoints people are or aren't allowed to hear, and the social processes that determine that, not file format evolution and the priority order of CSS selectors.
I wish I could explain further why your comment was hyperbolic, but your comment is now flagged. Too bad.

I meant I literally can't see your original comment to critique it because it's been deleted.
But now I think even if I could I wouldn't bother. You don't seem like the kind of person who can engage in a discussion. You just want to "win".
