For a different (and more stupid) reason though. It's not like CCP banned Facebook for sending home data, they banned Facebook for not being able to comply to censorship requirements.
iCloud would be a better example here.
- wokwokwok 6y agoSure; but it’s an almost irrelevant detail. The point being made is that government intervention is a given in China at every level. You can argue either way on if it’s “right” for the US to be doing it too, but it’s a bit rich to make a song and dance about how unfair it is under the circumstances. I’m 100% happy to agree governments in general, should keep out of this stuff, but that’s not the world we live in, or have lived in, for a very long time... /shrug It sucks, but it’s kind of hard to be sympathetic, honestly. You reap what you sow.
