This is a bit tangental to whats being talked about but I think more thought has to be to look at good systems like the way we do physical mail and have the same rights with other forms of communication. I think that private companies engaged in these activities should have to meet the same requirements.

Excellent article.

Lol. Watch the malaysians eat it up. Also, elections are gonna be announced soon. Were cooked.

It creates a facade of "everything is fine", and then makes witnesses less credible when they talk about it.

I have bumped into two former mainlanders that were at the tiananmen square protests. What they say is not what the government says happened. And Chinese supporters will claim expats are just negative of the country they left.

I have to wonder if this prevents conspiracy theories like the hundreds still floating around from 9/11.

I am not sure about the intention of this community as the linked content isn't what we would describe as classical disinformation, but it's an essential part of the Chinese government's (dis)dinformation warfare imo: eliminating everything that would make the government look bad.

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you.

Seems like they'd be better off using that money to put down a certain group of rabid dictatorial trolls - misinformation seems free when decisions like that are made - first waste money and lives on a stupid war, then waste more money on continuing to make poor decisions - todays "leadership" what can one do?

Your comment is a disaster.

That doesn't change the fact that this woman is a disaster, says a lot of completely nonsensical things, and is in the wrong place.

Are people obliged to couch any review of a country with a 30 second statement on how a segment of the population is racist and a list of government policies that are oppressive? China or not?

Nearly every country does this. There are whole ministries dedicated to this.

Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summons Russian diplomat yet again over the latest blatant misinformation disseminated by that aggressor state, US backs Latvia at United Nations Security Council

Latvia’s UN representative Sanita Pavļuta-Deslandes responded to Russian allegations and threats saying:

“I will just repeat that lies and aggressive disinformation and threats are a sign of despair and weakness, and we have seen similar lies addressed against other members of this council in the previous meetings, so I’m very honoured to have the attention drawn to my country today.”

In a notable intervention, US representative Tammy Bruce stood up for Latvia, warning Russia that "There is no place for threats against a Council member" and the US keeps its NATO commitments. More about what was said at the UNSC meeting is available here.

You'd be surprised

.ml people are getting paid?

And some of that money ends up paying for shit that ends up on fediverse too

Just tankies who thinks they are funny (authoritarians are famously completely devoid of humour) while brownnosing Putin.

I’m Ukrainian, and any person who wishes death to all russians is my closest bro.

Omgggggg, so much ruso-phobia nowadays

I don't get it. Why make a post like this?
