Does China have the freedom to operate spyware and propaganda outlets worldwide? Is that articulated in some statement of universal human rights I missed?

- dachworker 2y agoI think Israel does.
- Veraticus 2y agoJewish conspiracy theories? Nice!
- zeroonetwothree 2y agoit seems that bringing up Israel in unrelated threads is some new Godwin’s law corollary.

- Leary 2y agoAmerican users do have the right to receive Chinese Communist propaganda. See Lamont vs. Postmaster General [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamont_v._Postmaster_General#:~:text=Postmaster%20General%2C%20381%20U.S.%20301,deliver%20only%20upon%20the%20addressee's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamont_v._Postmaster_General#:...
- zeroonetwothree 2y agoNot exactly the same. Lamont would be more like banning propaganda on all social media. Which would obviously not fly. Requiring certain ownership of media is actually already the law for radio and TV so it seems to be permissible.
- aprilthird2021 2y agoBut radio and TV are not the Internet. We don't and should never require local ownership of all important Internet platforms. That would crush the very globalism the Internet has been built up for so many years to sustain
- Veraticus 2y agoThis doesn’t really seem germane to what is going on here though. An individual subscribing to mail is quite a bit different to Chinese spyware tracking and propagandizing citizens (without their knowledge or consent).
