  • To keep it short, I agree, I just dont like to see people trying to trick teenagers on here that China isnt worse than the west is right now.

  • What a bizarre doomer set of goalposts. One, we literally had an election and now Facebook's no longer doing this, thats a win for a start. We also shut down USAID and I got to read an article crying about how a bunch of people no longer get paid $300,000yr running nonprofits to bring in immigrants and spread propaganda, so thats cool. Some of the stuff coming out of the current supreme court has been good.

  • I can't find it now but a while ago I read a very interesting article about a guy who worked for the Chinese censorship service, tried to blow the whistle on them violating their own laws and eventually fled the country.

    I also read about the wallbleed hack that exposed the sort of data China gathers from internet users as well as how their DNS interception system works to stop users from accessing forbidden domain names.

    I think there are definitely many in the UK who WANT China's level of censorship. But even as the situation in the UK is becoming dire, the scale of internet policing, scope of topics that are censored by the government, and the severity of punishment dealt out are still well behind that of China.

    (I remember the guy who fled China being at risk of a 15+ year sentence, for example. Worst I have seen in UK is 4 years... Which is still insane enough to start a riot, but not equal to China).

  • I'm dead sick of hearing this argument. One, it's completely legalistic. The holocaust was legal too. Two, it's incorrect. The government has been in trouble for coercing private entities like this before. I'm sure it would not pass in the current supreme court. They only got away with it for so long because they did it secretly from the public.

    Given the choice, this is obviously behavior that should be stopped by legal intervention or possibly green Mario. There was no punishment because the worst of it passed before it was made public, much like nobody got imprisoned for various CIA crimes or whatever. Thats it.

  • Facebook, twitter, YouTube, Google Search, and Amazon Books accepted a vast quantity of secret, backdoor censorship "requests" from the US government, mostly during Biden's administration. Facebook had a private web portal for requests and bragged about handling millions of requests per year. Private emails with Mark Zuckerberg lament that they have been processing requests that are very clear free speech, and are not even misinformation, such as statements of opinion. Facebook in particular, closed this portal before Trump took office. Reddit is not named in this document but I am personally certain they took similar requests.

  • I'm glad we had enough freedom and democracy to vote for the candidate who had vastly less backing from corporations and billionaires. Proof that we still are a democracy and not just money that wins elections.

  • No, did you get your idea of gender roles from reading feminist books in the 90's while never having actually set foot on earth's surface from your flying saucer? A lot of men and women would have various kinds of issues if you were a man who fucked 1000 women in one day you fucking space alien.
