Here's a list of websites China bans:
.ml Intensifies
I came into this thread just to downvote their lies.
Yeah didn't even get to number 7 on the list before hitting a Marxist resource. Uh oh...
Fuck, I'm saving this f9r future arguments. Love it!
I can't be the only who thought the list would be long am I?
Xhamster slides in undetected...
That's more freedom than Texas
Basically any site that they don't have full control over/can't buy favor from and has the ability to spread info they dislike, even if it's something as simple as 2+2=4".
And if you're looking for someone outside of China to blame for their internet shield, Cisco was responsible for helping them set it up.
And then Huawei allegedly stole Cisco's IP? Ah, the irony
National weather service???
(tin foil hat)
The government... They control the weather information... Satellites... Weather machines... Snorts cocaine we can't trust them we need to trust our eyes...
I'm sorry but you know too much. Come with me.
The list is not entirely correct.
Change it on wikipedia!
Ironically.....
Fair point, but that means the ban should be coming from Department of Commerce, not the DoD.
Don't try to come up with bullshit excuses about espionage.
"We're banning these private-business Chinese websites because China bans our private-business websites and that's anti-competitive".
Low effort post
Uh ... why SCMP? Isn't that a party-friendly newspaper anyway?
SCMP is critical of China, but they do soften the blow
We should have done the same
Yeah let's follow China's lead and become just like them! I support restricting political freedoms and a giant firewall and a social credit system too.
They are obviously the superior system and therefore we need to emulate them.
Hard disagree, censorship is not welcome in a free society. I dislike a number of those sites and haven't heard of most of the rest, but I wouldn't ban a single one.
Good luck dealing with the current far-right inthe government in the US and soon in the EU countries though
Censoring the far-right doesn't make it go away. It just pushes it underground where it becomes even more radical outside of the moderating influence of the mainstream.
The solution is not censorship, but to understand what is causing the rise in right wing radicalism and address the root cause.
That root cause is the total loss of faith institutions coupled with economic insecurity felt by the working class. When people are scared and angry, they will turn to those who give them simple solutions and an easy scapegoat. It's a tale as old as time.
You can try and censor all you want, it won't ultimately make a difference.
I beg to differ. The situation was MUCH better in this regard in Western Europe 15-20 years ago when being openly far-right would get you socially ostracized for the most part, and media didn't routinely bring far-right mouthpieces on national TV.
I do agree with that though, that's why I'm a commie who wants economic security for everyone (i.e. guaranteed employment and housing) and strong and trustworthy institutions (such as powerful, free and public healthcare and education and pensions, and the end of austerity)
