   What are the reasons for the CCP blocking all foreign media apps? I sometimes wonder what the long-term impact is going to be of allowing advocates for foreign powers to fully participate in Western conversations, whilst not even Chinese ci

   Exactly. And nobody ever changes their mind, and a whole lot of everybody's time is wasted.

   Quite ironic...when you consider the lengths Google goes to, to retain everybody else's data.

   1. China operates the most sophisticated, comprehensive surveillance state in human history. 2. China is well known for running hacking campaigns against foreign adversaries (there are many examples of this). 3. Chinese companies by law ar

   What kind of evidence would you consider reasonable given that the circumstantial evidence is already overwhelming? I think in defense/strategy circles when planning they never, ever consider intent, only capability.

   Probably the best example of this in the 20th century would be the argument that fat is bad for you whilst sugar/carbs was not.

    Have to agree. There are now large sections of the media which are really just a "mouthpiece for the regime".

    Of course they don't write things for no reason, it's just that the reason may be something other than it's the truth. Take the Russian collusion hoax for example....

    And then all you have to do is define "everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi" and you've got not only full-blown censorship but also the moral high-ground! I know, I know for the sake of appearances we don't define ev

    Exactly. Ascribing the worse possible motives to the people you disagree with is the only form of hate that is still acceptable. You just ascribe "hateful" motives to anyone disagrees with you, then suddenly your own common, medio

    I wonder what the long-term impact is going to be of allowing advocates for foreign powers to fully participate in Western conversations, whilst not even Chinese citizens (let alone foreigners) can advocate against their own govt in China.

    Its not the only way. Smart DNS providers like Getflix provide access to BBC Iplayer and a ton of other streaming services too. Basically you use their DNS servers and they handle the geo-unblocking.

    There is nothing remotely surprising about this. It's Silicon Valley. What is surprising is he doesnt appear to be hiding his hypocrisy/self-interest behind a "woke" camouflage.
