I agree with you, this appears to be part of the lies and false narratives put out by evil totalitarian regimes in China and Russia to distract us from their activities. Especially since these tech companies are leading lights on human righ

Russia is currently far more effective at creating lies and false narratives to influence western opinion than the Chinese... However, the Chinese now see the power the Russians have and will rapidly improve. We need a total war approach to

These attacks on tech companies are extremely disappointing. Candidates are too cowardly to go after true evil, such as the Chinese government torturing protestors. https://joelx.com/torture-in-hong-kong/15239/

I think when you are getting a large amount of commentary from a totalitarian state, your default response should be suspicion not to just allow it. Each of the totalitarian states in our world today have proven they have massive informatio

Syria was a different situation, and I would actually have recommended an even more dramatic intervention early on there. In Syria there was a very weak government and strong revolutionary forces. A few ground troops could have helped toppl

Why does everyone see the early internet as some beautiful and clean time in which all websites were philanthropic? I remember the early internet as a cesspool of bad porn websites and a zillion different scams. There was a few semi useful
