    So we spent like what, 20 years saying China censorship bad and finding sneaky ways to get them in the global Internet via VPNs and Tor and Tor bridges, and now we want to make our own?

    That’ll go well.

      Everything they accuse others of is what they want. The projection is absolutely insane. Children grooming, limiting free speech, stealing elections, stealing jobs, everything…

      We don’t want that. A very small group of very small spoiled children do.

      That’s been the plan all along. Just needed the big bad Chinese Bot to come along to start nudging the idiots of Xitler and r/conservative to start clamoring for their own Great Firewall to protect their freedom.

    I think the tech bros are simply terrified of what China is about to unleash on the US and the world by them bringing down their great firewall this year.

        Yes, Xi made an announcement last week it will start off in one of the major cities with full removal in a few months. Chinese citizens will be able to sign up on all ‘western’ social media. The US opening Pandora’s box with the TikTok ban has let the Genie out of the bottle. I suspect other tech to come out of China will make the US look like its living in the mid 1800s

    Well that would be against the 1st amendment. Not only are these shitheads running towards the slippery slope, they’re already sliding down the mountain and dragging us all along with them in the name of staying on top and keeping their money. They will certainly not be bound by such laws, and there will just be more and more of this “haves v havenots” bullshit. This shit needs to be shut the fuck down. Now.

      The shitheads have already threatened to use force against their allies in NATO and applied amnesty to participants in the coup attempt, so… Nothing is surprising anymore.

    So, those AI rules and regulations from the Biden admin order that Trump walked back as soon as he got into office…
