I’ve seen discussion about China and all things Chinese on Reddit, and have noticed it can often end up being based more in emotion or tribalism than objective facts and analysis. Since we’re no longer on Reddit, let’s use the transition as an opportunity for turning over a new leaf.

      The Chinese firewall is not even in the same ballpark as Western internet “censorship” lol

        Yeah, western countries trying (and largely having limited success or outright failing because citizens are treated as people and can push back) to limit speech is very different than a government blocking out the whole rest of the world and massively censoring their whole internal internet.

        Kind of crazy someone can say that and then be able to visit the Pirate Bay immediately afterwards and not realize the disconnect
