Dang the Electronic Frontier Foundation is a lot cooler than I thought
Updating my monthly donation to the Electronic Frontier Foundation to the "white genocide" tier
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
Wait what's this about 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
People also tried to act like the police easily taking down the train station stabbing maniacs was some kind of authoritarian brutality. Gee, that would be nice when we have school shootings. Instead of cops just waiting until they get a high score
Yeah that was a dumb inaccurate way for me to say it thanks
