I'm no fan or Trump or general US foreign policy, but how these stories are being spun as the US being the bogeyman and a censor when China literally filters the foreign internet and dictates which apps are available for use in the country.
It's absurd we should allow apps with deep CCP interests on our networks and devices when they veraciously block & censor any access to their people.
- njharman 6y agoThe point is we do allow apps with deep USA interests. USA propaganda, censorship, and surveilence is not "good". There is universal, unalienable, human rights. Governments do not own their citizens. They do not have absolute control over them. Govs "rights" end where ours start. Routinely forgotten when people get fear mongered or try hard waving the flag.
- t0mbstone 6y agoSo it's bad when China censors free speech and restricts apps like Facebook in their country (because the US is using Facebook to spy on Chinese citizens), but it's good when the US does it? I swear, it's like people aren't even capable of logical thought anymore.
