1·15 days agoThere aren’t a lot of Chinese citizenry here. But there are a lot of Americans. It so follows that it makes sense to criticize the U.S. more, because many people on Beehaw can actually do something about it, especially in aggregate.
I agree that there are most likely more Americans (or other ‘Westerners’) here than Chinese, yet there are many tankies here with alt accounts on Beehaw. It is them who spread the Chinese propaganda, criticizing the West in general while being silent on China.
Because another countries takes away freedom and eliminates the free market, makes it a non argument if the US does the same? The US is doing the same what China does.
If so, why then haven’t you long been criticizing China the same way you do now the US? Where are these posts?
(Just to say that: The US, China, EU, and all the others can ban Tiktok, Twitter, FB, and all the centralized data collectors. I wouldn’t miss any of them, and I think it would be better for the world. But the hypocrisy here in this thread is very telling.)
I think Tiktok is much worse. It’s about a foreign country whose government is pursuing a dictatorial policy trying to interfere in foreign elections (again, look at Romania, for example).
The argument of FB collaborating with the US gov is true I guess, but isn’t valid here. China is doing the same, the Chinese government is banning the Western version of Tiktok, too, let alone all other non-Chinese apps. So the ‘free market’-argument doesn’t make any sense here, it’d be even hypocritical.
It helps to think before you type.
The free market is free if and when you play by the same -democratic- rules. Look at Romania, just to name an actual example. Tiktok is much worse than Facebook and (most) others, and being worse is not an easy task here.
Why isn’t a system in a hospital air-gapped? Or is there any reason why it must be connected that I don’t know?
the post title makes it sound like china is making that demand, which doesn’t make sense.
Yeah, doesn’t make sense. The Chinese government fully supports free speech and rejects censorship. We all know that. Thanks. (/s, to be safe)
You could just read articles before commenting instead of posting always the same rant over and again.
I recently posted an article in another thread about Bluesky. It’s from 2023, but worth reading in case you don’t know it:
This should indicate that it’s an article published by researchers rather than journalists. I thought it’s clear anyway that not all researchers in a field agree?
Soviet Union, China, Vietnam
You obviously have no idea what it means to live -or have lived, as one of these countries already collapsed- under such regimes. But feel free to migrate there.
There is a blog post from 2023, but worth reading in case you don’t know it:
Communist governments took power in poor countries and had to endure ‘primitive accumulation’ before they could start building a socialist economy. At best they created workers’ states where employment and basic services were guaranteed to all.
Where was that?
Yeah, and you don’t need to think on your own. Whatever the problem is, the cause is always the same. No mistake possible.
Here on Lemmy, most problems are simply caused by capitalism. Period. It’s all you need to know. (/s, just to be safe)
@themurphy@lemmy.ml, did you even read @dharmacurious’ comment or even the article?
around 75% of the shares were made without the posters clicking the link first
I would have guessed the number to be high, but not that high.
Why are so many people still using this platform?
Just stumbled upon a 9-min video (Invidious link) about Twitter’s brief history after Elon Musk’s takeover. Maybe interesting.
Yeah, that’s not new, but I feel there are still many who are unaware, although I don’t understand why.
Microsoft/Crowdstrike last summer.
I disagree with this statement. Blockchain is only a technology, good or bad is what we humans are doing. It depends how we use BTC and other coins, but that’s a human issue rather than a technological one.
