You wouldn't notice it unless you actively monitored your account. If you noticed and then asked the social media company why your posts were removed, you'd be ignored. They would never tell you they obeyed a specific government censor to protect the guilty. Why not monitor your accounts for cooperation with censors? If you catch them doing so, file a lawsuit and see if in discovery they'll turn over evidence of cooperation with government censors. I wouldn't know how to do such a thing without my own lawyer, but you could.
