Will mentioning Tibet jeopardize your AWS account?
- zenexer 7y agoThat is a scary thought.
- deogeo 7y agoLooks like it's more than just a thought: "Last year, China severely punished Marriott after an employee in Omaha, Neb., “liked” a pro-Tibet tweet. Marriott profusely apologized and fired the employee." -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/07/nba-is-only-latest-chinese-government-hostage/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/10/07/nba-is-on...
- cdmckay 7y agoIsn’t the USA doing this very thing with sanctions against Venezuela and Iran? Even if you’re not an American company, you can be punished by the USA for doing business in countries that they have sanctioned. So let’s not pretend like this is some horrible future, it’s already the present.
- deogeo 7y agoIt's the present for Venezuela and Iran. If you want a similar fate for the USA, keep allowing Chinese influence to grow. But do not be surprised if other Americans don't find much comfort in your preachings that they deserve it. If someone punches you, should you not put up your guard, because you, too, have punched others?
