Where do you think all this TikTok "Reefer Madness" is coming from?
This is just plain old protectionism.
- ojbyrne 4y agoGoogle and Facebook are both blocked in China, so if it is protectionism, it's reciprocal, and China did it first.
- AlexandrB 4y agoI don't get it. Don't you want to live in a country with more freedom than China? Why is China restricting what their citizens see online an excuse for the US to do so?
- pessimizer 4y agoGoogle and Facebook don't submit to Chinese censorship rules, TikTok submits to US censorship rules.
- andreilys 4y agoIt comes from the fact that the CCP is not above committing genocide on its own citizens, or disappearing high profile figures who are critical of the party line. Pretty easy to imagine what would happen if a party official said "please promote content that is divisive or favors pro CCP propaganda". I can't imagine the CEO of Binance saying no to that, and the ability to detect changes to a black-box recommendation algorithm are non-existant.
