      Don't you love a conscientious internet rights org that pushes for Western tech companies to be able to ignore China's internet regulations & allow people to organize pogroms

          197 people died 1,721 injured

          That precipitated the "great firewall"

          Also for instance the only thing Meta does to stop Hindutva bastards from organizing lynchings on WhatsApp is turn off forwarding sometimes

            the great firewall definitely predates that, but thats very interesting history that I didnt know about. the dead roughly 2/3 Han and 1/3 reportedly "moderate"/non-separatist uyghurs. I knew there were incidents but nothing this big

            obscene that there were such strenuous complaints about arrests being made when 200 people were killed in such a short time
