Imagine having a government that demands things of its corporations instead of the other way around
Imagine having a Government that uses political prisoners as forced laborers.
No need to imagine. Slavery is conditionally legal in the US, as written in the Thirteenth Amendment.
Imagine…

- World Incarceration Rates If Every U.S. State Were A Country
.
The lowest is Massachusetts, at 275 per 100K. China is less than half that, at 121.
I assume you understand the difference between political prisoners and normal prisoners, right? Unless those numbers represents political prisoners, I fail to see the point you made.
Imagine having a Government that uses political prisoners as forced laborers.
yeah just imagine

Actually all prisoners in America are political prisoners because politics determines the laws that put them in prison
Because there is actual evidence for Yankeestan while there is no evidence for this happening in China. Not only that, but per capita incarceration rate in China is far lower than in US overall.
China doing something
nothing will ever satisfy you people because you’ve already made up your minds about being xenophobic weirdos
they could save the entire planet from an asteroid strike and you’d still probably go “okay but they only did it for show”
Honestly the USA is going fucking insane and China is starting to look stable and rational by comparison.
China is like “yes, we are predictably slightly evil” America wakes up every day, takes a fistfull of Hunter S Thompsons briefcase, snorts it and then hucks a dart at a D&D alignment chart.
For Show means that some official is just making noise to appeal their their higher ups and nothing will come of it.
For Their Own Ends means that they don’t want protest groups forming where they can’t see it.
being xenophobic weirdos
Found the wumao.
The CCP and Chinese people are different things. No one is criticizing Chinese people.
System providers should avoid recommendation algorithms that create “echo chambers” and induce addiction, allow manipulation of trending items, or exploit gig workers’ rights, the notice said.
They should also crack down on unfair pricing and discounts targeting different demographics, ensure “healthy content” for elderly and children, and impose a robust “algorithm review mechanism and data security management system”.
Lemmy has no problems with this.
nah, its a big step ahead of letting unelected billionaires control discourse, instead of an elected governing body.
Lemmy is still shit governance wise. It’s just a bunch of fiefdom managed by god knows who, there’s absolutely nothing democratic about it.
no one corporation can censor it or turn it into an altright cesspool.
every individual or company can have a federated instance if they please. lemmy is more akin to the old forums, which are a massive step forward.
not perfect; much better.
although i think my op was responding to another comment and i did a wrong.
While I think this is un enforceable, I started to be careful what I click.
Just one click can ruin my feed.
And it is boring watch all the same stuff in the feed. I have many different interests, just put them all in there don’t focus only on the last one.
I don’t understand why do they do it. Diverse content will engage me more.
yes, it got to a point where i tried to game the algorithms once on one of these platforms to get the type of content i want and nothing else. instead it started showing me the most disturbing shit imaginable. i eventually started to report the content but the more i reported it the more of that shit it would show me like i was some kind of unpaid moderator they wouldn’t need to cover with PTSD bills.
i have since moved on from algorithm-fueled platforms. i just do not understand the appeal of all the hate and bullshit it brings “for advertising engagement” that this whole bluesky fanbase is advertising like something good and useful.
