It's possible for platforms under the influence of the Chinese government and right wing American billionaires to both have harmful censorship.

That's what the whattaboutism implies.

Person talking about how the neighbour's yard is such a mess and then somebody else pointing out that their own yard is just as much as a mess is pointing out the hypocrisy of that person, rather than whataboutism.

Whataboutism is the reverse - it's when somebody points out your yard is a mess and you point out that the neighbour's yard is also a mess.
