Conditioning works.

- gruez 8y agoI wouldn't be too cynical. "privacy was not a major concern" might just mean that she still thinks it's a privacy violation, but it's not such a big violation to warrant boycotting trips to the US. That is, she knows she's sacrificing privacy to visit the US and has already accepted it. Consider an alternative story: headline: "china blocks all access to all foreign media websites" > For John Smith of United States, censorship was not a major concern, as the practice doesn’t differ much from what she has come to expect from Chinese censorship. Doesn't mean that the same John Smith isn't going to be up in arms if the FCC starts censoring news websites in the US.
