The difference is that in China the info isn’t available without use of Western content, due to the totalitarian control over media, whereas in the West, information is pretty trivially available, even if the big companies keep it off of their platforms.
And sure ignorance is prevalent, but even GPT4 will tell me Donbas is still Ukraine, for instance. What a strange example to use, though!
- ossobuco 2y agoIf western governments are so tolerant and permissive with information, I wonder why can't I access RT in Europe?
- redcobra762 2y agoBecause you don’t know how to use a Western VPN?
- ossobuco 2y agoIsn't it the same in China then? They can also use VPNs

- foxglacier 2y ago"GPT4 will tell me Donbas is still Ukraine" But is it though? What's really the meaning of which country a region belongs to? Once somewhere has been occupied long enough, it usually becomes de-facto theirs. But how long is long enough? Other countries either do or don't recognize it and usually a consensus is reached, but not always.
