Regardless of how much traction our posts get, or don't, the thing we can be still be reasonably sure about in the US and most of the western world is that we won't be kidnapped, caged, tortured, or killed for whatever sociopolitical commentary we post on Facebook.
Facebook's collaboration with a regime where none of that is true is a disgusting low point, even for that company.
- NumberCruncher 10y ago>> we can be still be reasonably sure ... I would point to the word "still". If something can be used against you, it will sooner or later be used against you. I hope we won't live long enough to see this coming true.
- paradite 10y agoThat is some very extreme words you are using. I would caution you not to use those words lightly unless you are absolutely sure they are backed up with facts.

- veidr 10y agoIt's a simple and widely-known fact that China jails its dissidents. This has been reported in literally every major newspaper in the world. The Chinese regime doesn't dispute it.
- paradite 10y ago> kidnapped, caged, tortured, or killed That is quite a different set of vocabulary compared to "jail"
- veidr 10y agoOk, sorry: It's a simple and widely-known fact that China kidnaps and cages its dissidents. Better?
- paradite 10y ago> kidnapped, caged, tortured, or killed > kidnaps and cages Nope. Assuming what you asserted later are indeed facts, they only covers 50% of what you claimed in the original sentence. Still half of what you claimed is not grounded on facts.
