The government whose action you're commending quite literally has a history of arresting & detaining its critics, extorting & sometimes murdering its citizens in the street, supporting blasphemy laws, and blocking content and even financial transactions that it deems dissident (and those blocks are implemented with such a wide brush that plenty of completely unrelated sites often get caught in the net).

But of course, the real censorship is when a foreign social media platform that's used by a few percent of the population at maximum takes down a post.

It's always funny to see people cosplay at caring about censorship by...jumping to support the first actual authoritarian in sight.

And all that's beside the fact that this had nothing whatsoever to do with elections.
