In what way is it similar, I'm not seeing it? When did China introduce something like GDPR and how did it help foster an ecosystem of their own services?
- iqanq 5y agoAt first, western services were banned using laws similar to what some countries in the EU have (like how some tweets are unavailable in some European countries for disputing the holocaust, etc). Also: https://www.euronews.com/2022/01/26/germany-considers-banning-telegram-app-accused-of-facilitating-hate-speech https://www.euronews.com/2022/01/26/germany-considers-bannin... Now they have pushed something very similar to the GDPR.
