Reddit and Lemmy users loved spamming that “Tiananmen Square” copypasta because “oh China bad will censor it, you can actually make fake chinese users be banned by copying it”.
I wonder if they’ll love spamming the Epstein and ICE links now that the USA monitors and censors those.
Now replace Windows with Linux, and fucking invest into not needing to use American-controlled CPUs as every single one of them contains a backdoor.
I don’t understand why governments trust official matters in the hands of closed source software and suspicious hardware. Even China uses a special version of Windows 11 in public computers, this is nuts.
That’s the neat part, the USA, being known for moronic decisions, made it so circumventing DRM measures on hardware you own is a federal crime. Telly detects you attempted to do that, Telly can send you to prison.
You say that, but it clearly is exactly about who the aggressor is. The way the USA is treated on Reddit and Lemmy is significantly more lenient and smoothened out than anybody else.
The US does something horrible, the comments are wondering if there’s a hidden good reason why, comparing how Russia and China must be worse, or writing an analogy about how that like the early days of the Nazi regime (in other words, an external checkpoint).
The asymmetry is precisely the issue, and replying with a cheesy paragraph changes nothing.
