A tenant of socialism is to engage in globalization, to reach out to my fellow worker wherever they are.

Red Book has been a great way to do that & if I'm granted the ability to do that with many other groups of people around the world, I will continue to do so.

We should always strive to give voices to the voiceless.

Shaming people into reaching out to people in a relatively closed off part of the world, I argue, is a form of censorship.

But,in America, we've lost all meaning of the word.

But.... Chinese companies don't make the rules for their platform, the CCP does. That's why you can point to censorship because CCP does a lot of censoring. Remember Winnie the Pooh is banned and EVERYONE love that silly old Pooh bear.

Okay. Not entirely sure what your point is.

There are rules that US social media apps have to follow in accordance with US regulations.

Plus, with Trump taking office next week, what will be the difference?

vdspear.bsky.social•43 days ago

Right the US has rules and regulations that US base companies can follow or fight or lobby to change. In China it's the CCP's way or you will be replaced at your own company with a handpicked person by the CCP wants and they will follow the will of the CCP so Censorship is a big threat.

Well, if you aren't following the will of the people, you should be replaced.

The key is the CCP is not the people's party as stated in the name. Like Putin, Xi runs everything with only his most loyal people. And like most dictators, "Life is good so don't ask questions, and if there any problems, it caused by the West" Any opposition party are neutered of any strong leaders

Replace CCP with US and Putin, Xi with .

Every accusation is a confession.

And with Trump you ask? Well with Americans willingly giving all our personal information to the CCP, they can in turn figure out who to use as a spy, spreader of misinformation, or an useful idiot. With Trump wanting to be the hardest dude in Nebraska, the CCP can use our data as another weapon.

What do you think the US uses with our data?

Why do you think they want TikTok?

I'm more willing to give my information to China than I am to give it to the US and their oligarchy to make vast amounts of money while they sale me things I don't need.

I already talk about Socialism and Communism publicly in the US.

I am hyper critical of western capitalism, Imperialism, and white supremacy.

What more can the Chinese do with that info?

vdspear.bsky.social•43 days ago

The US government doesn't want TikTok because they know too much American information is in the hands of the Chinese Government for again, Spying, Spreading of misinformation, and useful idiocy. The US trying to prevent another weapon against them but like you said, screw the US, I'll help China
