Inb4 they just put 64GB storage and with no microsd card slot and force you to use their shitty cloud

I was under the impression that most of the fentanyl entering the US is being manufactured in China. It doesn’t sound crazy to me that this is some sort of conspiracy to weaken the American public.

Reverse Opium Wars lolol

Let me tell how how much people actually follow laws in China.

I was born while the One Child Policy was in effect. My mother already gave birth to my older brother. Basically, my existence is illegal.

As you can see, clearly I’m not dead. They didn’t manage to kill me, just demanded my parents paid a massive fine and denied legal papers until they did so.

Honestly if you just browse and don’t post anything too serious, are they really gonna go after everyone who use a VPN. I mean, say even if just 1% uses a VPN. That’s 1,400,000 people. Are they gonna lock up a million people? Really? Surely they have bigger fishes to catch. (Edit: 1% of 1.4 billion is actually 14 million, good luck locking that many people lolz)

As for control of information, internarional phone calls aren’t blocked, you can send letters. My mom regularly call my aunts (aka: her sisters) in China. I heard the Covid QR codes being mentioned, afaik, the didn’t lose their teaching jobs nor ever got arrested.

The overwhelming majority wouldn‘t even know how.

It’s like adblocking. Do you know anyone irl that use adblockers? Seriously, I don’t know anyone that does except like maybe 1 perdon.

But here we are, on a platform where practically everyone uses adblockers.

Or in another analogy. Mainstream social media is like inside the GFW and Lemmy is like using VPN to bypass it.

TLDR: Okay sorry if my point isn’t concise, I guess my point is: NPCs will just follow the wind, those who have the will to dig deeper will probably be able to bypass the censorship (provided that it’s not completely cut off from the outside internet)

Sometimes, you find things so niche, you can’t find a torrent for it even after looking through torrent aggregators.

Soon: Police sirens have been detected, video recording terminated.

police begin shooting protesters

How do you even “rip” media from streaming services? Like how to bypass the drm thing and convert the data to a file?

My mom do bussiness and manage financial assets on a smartphone…

Phone literally old, laggy, half-dying, charging port is filled with dust… and also no backups…

lmfao

Of course, actual word documents and stuff and printing were done by me or my older brother

But is it safe from the cats? 😼

glass shattering sounds

So proud to have discovered the fediverse xD

Fuck the alphabet

Use microdots

Hail Skynet

What country doesn’t do fingerprinting? The entire world seems about the same in terms of surveillance.

I’m gonna guess that they have WeChat, pro-conservative and anti-democrat articles run rampant in WeChat, I know because my parents constantly spew bullshit and I have to remind them about the Chinese Exclusion Act and that republicans are trying to deport us.

You have the same mindset of an average American. “Not my country, I don’t care if people die there”

How high is your proposed number?

Why is Big = Bad?

Proton have over 100 million users.

Do we fine Proton AG for a bunch of shitheads abusing their platform and sending malicious email? How do they detect it if its encrypted? Force them to backdoor the encryption?

Disagree. Without Section 230 (or equivalent laws of their respective jurisdictions) your Fediverse instance would be forced to moderate even harder in fear of legal action. I mean, who even decides what “AI deception” is? your average lemmy.world mod, an unpaid volunteer?

It’s a threat to free speech.

Right now I don’t have a reddit account and I just lurk there, but if I really wanted to talk about, say, a specific TV show I like, or a Movie, or Anime, or a Book… that would not exist on the fediverse. It’s either just Reddit or maybe Discord.

If I wanna talk about stuff from a non-white perspective, the best place I’d really find my people outside the great firewall is Reddit.

I mean I the amount of Cantonese-speakers on Lemmy is like… single-digits

US Public Schools messed with me so much, partially contributed to my depression (amongst various other factors)

Don’t forget to bring your copy of Chairman Trump’s little thin-blue-line book when you leave the house, patriot! Otherwise the little 'murica-guards will get you!
