Wonder how long before Chinese people will have to anglicize their names in the U.S.
On a more serious note, I wonder how this can be enforced? Prevent distribution on Play store and apple store? Can't you just sideload on android? You have to prevent connections to the server side right? Maybe via ISP providers or mobile companies to get them to prevent access?
- abduhl 6y agoThis has been happening for a long time. You really think that a first generation immigrant from Asia is named Sherry or Johnny?
- mathieuh 6y agoI assumed they meant anglicise their whole name to avoid persecution rather than just adopting a common American name for ease of pronunciation.

- ericmay 6y ago> Wonder how long before Chinese people will have to anglicize their names in the U.S. Why would they have to do that? Most Americans probably can't tell the difference between Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or other East Asian names. I guess if Fox News starts publishing "this is what a Chinese name is" we should worry (not that I should give them any ideas), but I really doubt that'll happen. Americans don't like the Chinese government, and for extremely good reason. > On a more serious note, I wonder how this can be enforced? Prevent distribution on Play store and apple store? Can't you just sideload on android? You have to prevent connections to the server side right? Maybe via ISP providers or mobile companies to get them to prevent access? Yea it'll be blocked on the official distribution channels. You'll probably be able to side load it, but lots of people don't know how to do that and probably don't care enough. I guess we'll find out what happens. The US can certainly have companies like ISPs comply here.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoSideload it from where? Sure you can pirate it, but anyone involved in procuring or operating a banned app would be violating this order. It's like saying "oh guns are banned but can't I just call someone I know who can get me a gun?"
- ericmay 6y agoBeats me, I don't side load things. But I'm quite confident that you can find a version of it to install somewhere. > It's like saying "oh guns are banned but can't I just call someone I know who can get me a gun? I mean... that's how lots of people get illegal things. Drugs? Etc.
- input_sh 6y agoI'm assuming both of them will replace "download from Play Store" with "download the apk" if/when they get removed from the stores. That's what Fortnite does already.
- sudosysgen 6y agoSideload it from TikTok.com, or any other non-US based website?
