And this person was wearing a t-shirt. He was convicted for wearing a t-shirt.
51·2 days agoI’m from Europe and I’m kinda getting tired of reminding people from the US that your blind patriotism is just that…a blind spot that is used against the US citizens on every corner.
For starters, I/m from Europe, but my friends from the U.S. might not need to be reminded where they live, they know that themselves. And we are all tired of this whataboutism all over the place. There is a lot of criticism on the U.S., the surveillance there, and Clarence Thomas. The thing is that in these posts, there are no whataboutisms, no one commenting, “but in China …”.

In 2015, two years after kicking off its massive Belt and Road initiative, China launched its “Digital Silk Road” project to expand access to digital infrastructure such as submarine cables, satellites, 5G connectivity, etc. In a report published this year, the UK-based human rights group ‘Article 19’ argues that the project is about more than just expanding access to Chinese technology, but rather to export its brand of digital authoritarianism across the word. Here is a brief article about it where you can also download the 80-page report (April 2024): China: The rise of digital repression in the Indo-Pacific – (Archived link)

There is also an interesting first-hand research about how Chinese people cope with constant surveillance in their country by Canadian researcher Professor Ariane Ollier-Malaterre (March 2024): Digital surveillance is omnipresent in China. Here’s how citizens are coping (in French: La surveillance numérique est omniprésente en Chine. Voici comment les citoyens y font face)

I guess they can’t say much in this case. Maybe a bit whataboutism (chat control? Google does the same?), but you can’t defend this imo.
Whataboutism? Apart from the fact that it has nothing to do with the linked article, there has been a lot of, say, ‘not too positive’ reports about Trump’s social network.
How are the so-called ‘laws’ written in China?
As @Deceptichum@quokk.au already said, this is about safety, and it’s not a geopolitical thing.

I guess if you are surrounded only by yes-sayers for too long, something like that may happen.
Zhang Zhan is a role model for a person who is standing up. As some others have already written in their comments, it’s a similar situation in China as it is in Russia, Iran, North Korea (or Nazi-Germany 90 years ago, if you seek an example in history).
Those Chinese who threaten their peers should be legally prosecuted and then sent back to China. If they don’t value freedom of expression and human rights, they have nothing to do here in Europe. This is unacceptable.
I don’t know the reason for the prompt in this particular case, of course, but there is a persistent form of racism in China, namely the prejudice that the Han Chinese are more advanced than other cultures inside and outside of China. Some experts say this view is even promoted by the government’s propaganda.
There is also a good video by a foreigner living in China (19 min): CHINA: RACISM: China’s Ugly, Disturbing yet Open Secret — (archived link).
Last year, Human Rights Watch urged the Chinese government to combat anti-black racism on Chinese social media.

There is a good article by the China Media Project from April 2024 about the Chinese Communist Party’s AI policy:
Tracking Control: Bringing AI to the Party — [Archived link]
China’s release this week of new draft rules governing the generation of AI content, coming just months after the launch of ChatGPT, might give the impression leaders are scrambling to catch up. But for years now, the Chinese Communist Party has planned to power up AI innovations — even as it contains them.
Corrected. Sorry, and thanks @masterspace@lemmy.ca

The article relates to the share of advertising revenue these Maga guys get. Musk and his dozens of shareholders earn Xitter’s bottom line, of course, but this is a different story.

Elon Musk Urges To Free Telegram Chief Pavel Durov After His Arrest In Paris — (Archived link)
The Telegram chief executive, Pavel Durov, was arrested by the French Police in Paris this morning, and the X owner, Elon Musk, has reacted to his arrest. Musk shared a snippet from one of Durov’s interviews where he was talking about X. While sharing this snippet, Musk wrote, “#FreePavel.” […]
According to Russia’s TASS state news agency, the Russian embassy in France is taking “immediate steps” to clarify this situation […]
By operating from the United Arab Emirates, Telegram has managed to avoid the content moderation laws that Western countries are imposing on major platforms to combat illegal content.
As a legal layman I would say that domestic companies aren’t shielded anyway from human rights accountability.

No, just read the article. He was arrested on June 12 at a train station
