The TikTok ban and RedNote’s rise expose a grim truth: the dream of a borderless Internet is unraveling as the US and China wage a battle for digital control

        Really? Let me try.

        Hong Kong isn’t part of China. Taiwan is an independent country.

        Edit: oh, this community is in lemmy.world, not lemmy.ml. Still, for those disgruntled, report me for rule 2 & 6. I want to see how mods respond to this.

                  That doesn’t make them propaganda. Tibet exists, I’ve been there. I have friends living there. The CIA paid for places to put listening equipment along China’s border. They did it in Cuba too. Is Castro propaganda?

                  You also deny that the Uyghurs are being disappeared and “reeducated”. The Uyghurs are being treated just like the First Nations people in America were. Their land and customs stand in the way of Chinese “progress”

                  Are you paid by China? Or are you just a useful idiot?

              let’s assume that statement is true, let’s take the words of an anonymous internaut for truth :

              CIA paid Taliban too, i remember reading. Does that make Taliban too just propaganda?

              U.S. sponsored and sponsors many movements around the globe as long as their goals align. That money alone can’t invalidate the cause.

              Like, on the contrary, U.S. sponsorship can’t validate a cause either.

              i remember unsubscribing from political communities, why the heck am i responding to this comment at this hour. Completely futile! Will it change your mind? Do i really care what you will think about Tibet tomorrow?
