Lol, what? Dude their internet is still censored. What’s there to even discuss here.
Call me when they figure out step 1, then we’ll talk.
China has a critical characteristic of a third world country, which is the unspoken “true” law. On a spectrum, the west is certainly on there but more so as you get closer to power structures like Congress and corporations. But the trumpian shithole countries have ‘free elections’ like Russia, and now hilariously I just found out from you China has freedom of speech laws.
I’m not sure why it sounds like I’m taking this out on you (because I don’t mean to).
Why the hell is Stanford associated with this farce?

The Soviet Union had freedom of speech in its constitution also. The point is that those rights exist only on paper, and so will the rights defined in this new personal information protection law.

- avmich 6y agoI generally agree, but why "true" law is a characteristic of a third world country? To me, current American woes are associated with breaking of that "true" law - that is, unspoken agreement in society to treat things certain way. When somebody starts adhering to the letter of the law, but completely against the spirit of the law, they may have situations like today in White House and Capitol.
