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.

Uh ... why SCMP? Isn't that a party-friendly newspaper anyway?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

SCMP is critical of China, but they do soften the blow

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 minutes ago

Come SCMP! Do better, no one likes soft blow jobs.

From china

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

We should have done the same

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 hours ago

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.

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.
