It is funny that a common refrain on social media regarding Deepseek is "try looking up anything about Tiananmen or Taiwan", when this is the kind of thing happening at home. What's next, Google Maps redraws the American borders to include Canada? The Russian borders to include Ukraine?

- esbranson 2y agoA name is not a drawing, nor is a name a map. Nor is a name change a territorial change. Confusing, yes. All the more confusing when one wants something to be wrong, but there isn't. See also "Board on Geographic Names".

- pixelready 2y agoI am equally confused about the false equivalence arguments. All of the examples you cited are bad to various degrees, and one of the tricks authoritarians use is to do outrageous things and leave us guessing as to whether they “really mean it” or not. Hint: if they get away with it, they meant it. If there are consequences, they “were just joking guys, geez, so sensitive!” As for corporations accommodating governments that behave badly, that’s nothing new. The spice must flow, after all.

This strains and breaks the supporter's social relationships with everyone outside the cult, eventually stranding them in a prison of their own making.
