Lots of shady free VPNs out there from Chinese/Russian companies. Now instead of just letting people watch porn, they'll send their data to a shady/foreign entity. The apps will ask all the permissions, and people who don't know shit, will grant them.
Same thing will happen when they ban Tiktok.
Well done, You played yourself.
Definitely no shady VPNs run by white westerners though. Theyve all got impeccable morals through ans through. Glad you cleared that up.
Reread the comment considering it's taking the view point of a Republican in Texas who voted this law, it will make more sense.
Let me make it clear folks, nobody has better morals than white people, believe me. They're tremendous, the best. They follow the rules, they respect authority, they're just fantastic. I mean, look at me, I'm the best example of great morals, and I'm white, folks. White people, they're winners, they know how to do things right, they're tremendous patriots. So let's make America great again with the incredible morals of white people leading the way.
This is pure evil! You're, like, evil incarnate!
The outlook on everything on Lemmy is driving me away from the platform. I’m not saying other platforms are any better. I might just stop using it.
The same people who complain about government propaganda are the same people who type “Russia bad! China bad!” like it’s not decades of propaganda to make westerners hate these countries.
So the Ukraine invasion and the Uyghur genocide are both just propaganda?
When I see the same energy directed towards what shady activities UK/Israel/USA are doing in the Congo (child labor and genocide) or what USA/Israel is doing in Palestine (genocide) or whatever France is meddling with in Africa then I’ll see Lemmy as unbiased but it is a very biased social media website. When I see the same energy directed at the USA for killing millions of Iraqis by spreading lies and never finding weapons of masa destruction in Iraq then I’ll believe the narrative.
And please don’t mention the Uyghur and pretend to care about the muslims only when China does it but when Israel does it, it’s up for debate.
USA good. France good. UK good. China bad. Russia bad. Middle East bad.
Hilarious. Wake up people.
Uhh… most people I’ve seen on Lemmy are condemning the genocide in Palestine. Same for the war in Iraq. Where are you getting all those “USA Good” comments? I constantly see people complaining about it.
