Lmao, not a piracy problem. Just the Yemenis carrying out legitimate naval interdiction operations and interference from Israel's allies. Mfkers pretending this is a piracy problem like off the coast of Somalia when it's just ships affiliated with Israel being interdicted.
Honestly, on a purely personal level, the fact that you can, these days, actually sometimes get a Chinese hacker banned within less than an hour by spamming their pms or chat with the winnie the poor bear image and linking them or copy pasting excerpts of accounts of Tienanmen Square is basically both sad and funny to me.
This sounds fake to me. It is in line with bacon having magic properties against Muslims.
I remember back in guild wars we used to mass report accounts for rascism and they would get autobanned. My guild won a tournament doing that. Was that evidence of US government overreach? Or companies being lazy and shitty?
Wow what a shitty thing to do, damn!
No, it wouldnt be evidence of US government overreach, mainly because the US government was not involved, you were basically just exploiting the game itself. The US /just listens/ to more or less everything you send through its networks.
China is a whole different beast, a whole 'nother realm of extremely invasive direct government censorship all throughout their own sort of internal internet within the Great Firewall of China. Combined with requiring internet users to basically now have a government ID that is the only way they can use the internet legally, requiring users to simply use their real names for all their online handles... there is so much control over the internet inside of china it is truly breathtaking, far too much for a currently homeless tech nerd to go into right now.
Anyway, its also not a common thing, ever seeing a chinese player banned for spamming verboten and already flagged material at them in a game, due in large part to... why would an American or European player ever connect to a Chinese server? Ping is terrible, no one speaks English, and video game hacking is extremely common in China, as, for a very long time, the only way they could really get their hands on a lot of video games was by already being an adept enough hacker to even /get/ a video game not made in China... which there were not many of until relatively recently... point is, if you have played enough games that let you connect to serves all around the world, you know that connecting to a Chinese game server is probably a bad idea.
those /wily/ inscrutable /tricky/ Chinese
