So far, Americans using RedNote have said they don't care if China has access to their data. Viral videos on TikTok in recent days have shown Americans jokingly saying they will miss their personal "Chinese spy," while others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.

"This also highlights the fact that people are thirsty for platforms that aren't controlled by the same few oligarchs," Quintin said. "People will happily jump to another platform even if it presents new, unknown risks."

Oligarch doesn't mean a rich person, it means a person who controls the country with their wealth. Even the richest people in china are still at the governments behest, not the other way around like in America.

Lmmfao, who do you think runs the Chinese government, the workers?

Anyway, thanks for providing an example of exactly the kind of bullshit and excuses I was referring to.

With a Vanguard party made up of nearly 10% of the population... uh yeah, kinda. Not in a fully idealised sense, but certainly in enough of one that billionaires actually get prosecuted for their crimes.

they execute billionaires from time to time. when's the last time a western country did that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (4 children)

most western countries are civilised enough to not allow capital punishment.

I love how modern liberals sound exactly like they did 140 years ago when discussing foreign people

i-cant Oh yes, it's because we who are carrying out a genocide are so much more civilized than them, I see. China just isn't civilized enough, you say? And what skull measurement would you posit is responsible for that, Professor?

Yes unlike the barbaric yellow hordes, their western betters have the civility to only perform executions in the streets, prior to arrest.

Extrajudicial street executions happens in Baghdad and Boston, both are done by white supremacist thumbs exported from the USA

Thesis:

Boston

Antithesis:

exported from the USA

Synthesis:

Boston is not in the USA
