Here's a list of websites China bans:
.ml Intensifies
I came into this thread just to downvote their lies.
Yeah didn't even get to number 7 on the list before hitting a Marxist resource. Uh oh...
Xhamster slides in undetected...
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.
And then Huawei allegedly stole Cisco's IP? Ah, the irony
Fuck, I'm saving this f9r future arguments. Love it!
National weather service???
(tin foil hat)
The government... They control the weather information... Satellites... Weather machines... Snorts cocaine we can't trust them we need to trust our eyes...
I'm sorry but you know too much. Come with me.
I can't be the only who thought the list would be long am I?
Uh ... why SCMP? Isn't that a party-friendly newspaper anyway?
SCMP is critical of China, but they do soften the blow
The list is not entirely correct.
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
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.
