Are you saying you don't care what happens to journalists around the world? Seems like a recipe for disaster.

- hef19898 5y agoNo, quite the opposite actually. Just that it doesn't mean anything if a random Xiaomi user in Europe can type words Xiaomi is monitoring. Since that user most likely isn't the reason why Xiaomi is doing that kind of stuff.
- reginold 5y agoOh I get what you mean, my bad. You're saying the above poster "typing in Free Tibet and nothing bad happened" doesn't prove anything. Yep, agreed.
- hef19898 5y agoExactly that, I could have phrased it better I think.
- reginold 5y agoYes, rather than "it doesn't matter", something like "typing in a phrase yourself isn't relevant as this feature is likely disabled for you". Believe that's why you're being downvoted. The way HN moves comments around also so yours was not right next to the comment you replied to, which didn't help.
- hef19898 5y agoReading my comment again, I do see the problem... On the positive side, it teaches clear, consive writing. Even in quick, short comments. Or thinking, as far as that's concerned. I would have used the same words verbally as well.
- reginold 5y agoPronouns in particular seem problematic. "It", "they", "he", "her" seem to be on their way out because they are less and less useful at communicating information.
