Let me tell how how much people actually follow laws in China.

I was born while the One Child Policy was in effect. My mother already gave birth to my older brother. Basically, my existence is illegal.

As you can see, clearly I’m not dead. They didn’t manage to kill me, just demanded my parents paid a massive fine and denied legal papers until they did so.

Honestly if you just browse and don’t post anything too serious, are they really gonna go after everyone who use a VPN. I mean, say even if just 1% uses a VPN. That’s 1,400,000 people. Are they gonna lock up a million people? Really? Surely they have bigger fishes to catch. (Edit: 1% of 1.4 billion is actually 14 million, good luck locking that many people lolz)

As for control of information, internarional phone calls aren’t blocked, you can send letters. My mom regularly call my aunts (aka: her sisters) in China. I heard the Covid QR codes being mentioned, afaik, the didn’t lose their teaching jobs nor ever got arrested.

The overwhelming majority wouldn‘t even know how.

It’s like adblocking. Do you know anyone irl that use adblockers? Seriously, I don’t know anyone that does except like maybe 1 perdon.

But here we are, on a platform where practically everyone uses adblockers.

Or in another analogy. Mainstream social media is like inside the GFW and Lemmy is like using VPN to bypass it.

TLDR: Okay sorry if my point isn’t concise, I guess my point is: NPCs will just follow the wind, those who have the will to dig deeper will probably be able to bypass the censorship (provided that it’s not completely cut off from the outside internet)

Soon: Police sirens have been detected, video recording terminated.

police begin shooting protesters

My mom do bussiness and manage financial assets on a smartphone…

Phone literally old, laggy, half-dying, charging port is filled with dust… and also no backups…

lmfao

Of course, actual word documents and stuff and printing were done by me or my older brother

But is it safe from the cats? 😼

glass shattering sounds

So proud to have discovered the fediverse xD

Fuck the alphabet

Use microdots

Hail Skynet

What country doesn’t do fingerprinting? The entire world seems about the same in terms of surveillance.

You have the same mindset of an average American. “Not my country, I don’t care if people die there”

How high is your proposed number?

Why is Big = Bad?

Proton have over 100 million users.

Do we fine Proton AG for a bunch of shitheads abusing their platform and sending malicious email? How do they detect it if its encrypted? Force them to backdoor the encryption?

Disagree. Without Section 230 (or equivalent laws of their respective jurisdictions) your Fediverse instance would be forced to moderate even harder in fear of legal action. I mean, who even decides what “AI deception” is? your average lemmy.world mod, an unpaid volunteer?

It’s a threat to free speech.

Right now I don’t have a reddit account and I just lurk there, but if I really wanted to talk about, say, a specific TV show I like, or a Movie, or Anime, or a Book… that would not exist on the fediverse. It’s either just Reddit or maybe Discord.

If I wanna talk about stuff from a non-white perspective, the best place I’d really find my people outside the great firewall is Reddit.

I mean I the amount of Cantonese-speakers on Lemmy is like… single-digits

US Public Schools messed with me so much, partially contributed to my depression (amongst various other factors)

Don’t forget to bring your copy of Chairman Trump’s little thin-blue-line book when you leave the house, patriot! Otherwise the little 'murica-guards will get you!

But isn’t that stupid tho. Like they should want their military officers to be using the most secure OS.

But then again, its funny to see them make stupid decisions.

Welcome to:

People’s Republic of America

美利坚人们共和国

Long Live Chairman Trump

Maybe he reign a thousand years!

/s

But what if the universe isn’t real, what if I’m just a lab-grown brain attached to a computer? 🤔

Theres a form of poetry called 反诗 that’s basically covertly hiding meaning into poems that criticizes the authorities. In ancient times, scholers would write these poems.

You could also like hide meaning by reading it like acrostically or like diagonally.

Here: (A very amateur freeverse “poem”)

天下如此广佛 (The world such vast)
平安京城广场 (Peaceful Beijing Plaza/Square)
达到门下停歇 (Resting in the Square [the Tianamen Square, that is])
兴旺的大都市 (Prosperous Big Capital City)
满路的游徒看 (The roads filled with tourists sightseeing)
这风吹满地沙 (This wind blowing the sands all over the place)

Read diagonally (the highlighted characters)

You get:

天安门大徒沙 (Tian An Men Da Tu Sha)

Which in Mandarin sounds exactly like

天安门大屠杀 (Tiananmen Massacre)

Voila! Thanks for coming to my TED Talk on “How to hide meaning in poetry” Lesson 101, by a random Chinese-American Nerd (me).

So we are getting that UBI, right? Right?
