Non paywall version here [0], I have to think some Western governments are looking again at China's internet policies for inspiration. Tim Cook, for one, seems [1] to be encouraging it.

- wmf 8y agoChina's internet policies are an inspiration for GDPR-style privacy regulation? I don't understand.
- StudentStuff 8y agoNo, many neoliberals & center right supporting people like Tim Cook have taken to this idea that we should censor certain views after the defeat of Hillary. Its a weak argument responding to the expression of the dropping standard of living for the poorest among us here in America, and it was a massive blindspot that Hillary's data science team didn't pick up on: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/9sy7g1/di_work_under_a_famous_researcher_in_a_big/e8slexw https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/9sy7g1/di_... Edit: People of Tim Cook's beliefs, eg: the Gay Log Cabin Republicans mostly died out during the AIDS crisis. A very similar strain of political ideology was heralded by Hillary in this past electoral cycle. Basically a "Fuck you, got mine. Don't you have magical bootstraps? Oh, here is a tiny, useless smidgen of help".
