I wish there was a way to filter out political news here. It's telling that all of it is about China, and rarely any on Kashmir, Iraq, Sudan, or Turkey.

- seanmcdirmid 7y agoChina is a huge country with a huge tech presence that many of us are exposed to. I don’t know of many tech startups in Kashmir, Iraq, Sudan, Turkey, I guess others are similar, so they don’t get as much attention here.

The GFW, social credit scores, facial recognition, an army of censors policing chat rooms... there's a lot of dystopian science fiction materializing here. Some of it using technologies that "we" are familiar with or even work on.
