    Being obligated to send user information to any government while lying about it when investigated is objectively bad bruh what are u talking about😭 also the gaming hours thing is just plain dystopian activity... can chinese people connect to youtube, fcebook, reddit etc? + can they openly criticize the establishment and discuss controversial topics like tiananmen square, tankman?. How legal are vpns and other privacy tools? Cant really complain about the government when any and all complaints can put you in danger.

      Look man I'm not gonna respond to anymore of this stuff. I just want to point out that most of what you said the first time is untrue and then you just double down and list a bunch of other things as truisms.

      Be a little critical of narratives about places you know nothing about yeah?

          Go read up on videogame addiction. Reduces grey matter in the brain. Having socially isolated kids who only play games alone is damaging. Having kids touch grass in order to help avoid that is good.

          "Least obvious psyop" after spewing straight up BS. Okay lol

          I'm done goodbye

      have you ever seen the full tank guy footage? here it is, if you're curious: https://youtu.be/qq8zFLIftGk the man is able to stop in the street, climb on the tank, talk to the operator, and walks away completely unharmed

      compare this to NYPD officers, who simply run protesters over: https://youtu.be/q-W-7WPWfE4

      The Great Firewall serves as a protectionist policy to encourage Chinese citizens to use China's own platforms to help build China's technological sovereignty while also filtering out a lot of reactionary crap. The Chinese people use VPNs to access YouTube and such all the time. I recommend watching Ben Norton's video on his experience living in China as he does talk about the Great Firewall and its purpose.
