I think it's cool that people can interact with each other. But damn it feels so dystopian that they're reminding people to follow china's policies. It's just really sad that people around the world don't have full freedom. Like damn I don't even feel like I'm fully free, but at least I don't have the government breathing down my neck 24/7.
Or at least not yet, I suppose. This is a good reminder on how lucky I am, I guess.
Pretty fair to say, I'd rather be Chinese then American. With a population of 1.4 billion they have less prisoners than America, the nation isn't infested by corporate control and you talk about not having governments breathing down you for 24/7 but forget meta, Google are actively harvesting your data and you're fully tapped by us governmental organisation. You've been propagandised about freedom, you have less freedom than a poor rural Chinese who is probably state subsidized
